Abstract
The effects of enriched Artemia nauplii on larvae production and survival a nd growth of the mysid Mysidopsis almyra Bowman 1964 are compared, There we re no significant differences (P > 0.05) in production between mysids fed t he Artemia nauplii (133 +/- 69 mysids day(-1)) and mysids fed the enriched nauplii (139 +/- 82 mysids day(-1)). No differences in size of newly hatche d mysids or mysid growth to 15 days (P > 0.05) were found between the two d iets. Survival was significantly higher (P < 0.05) for mysids fed the enric hed nauplii (59.1%) compared with mysids fed Artemia nauplii (41.4%).
