Abstract

The early larval development of Caridina sp. collected from the low-saline
inshore waters of Cochin is described. The larvae hatch out in relatively advanced
stage and pass through 5 moults during a period of 11 days, under laboratory
conditions. Rearing iexperiments were carried out in the medium with salinity,
16-17%. and at temperature, 28.0°C to 28.5°C. IDescriptions of the adult
shrimp and the first three zoeal stages are given with illustrations. A comparison
of the eariy larval development of Caridina sp, with that of the allied species is
made.
