Abstract

The influence of salinity on the larval development of the mangrove crab Sesarma
brockii was studied in 8 different salinities from 5 to 40 ppt with 5 ppt increment.
The larval development was completed in the salinity ranged from 15 to 35 ppt with
25 ppt as optimum. In the lower (5 to 10 ppt) and higher (40 ppt) salinities complete
morality was recorded within 24 hours at the maximum. Further the intermoult
duration of the development was shortest (18 days 10 hrs and 5 mts) in 25 ppt
