Abstract
Two inexpensive methods were developed for rearing grass shrimp (Palaemonetes pugio) in the laboratory. A total of 70% of the 144 larvae reared in individual compartments lived to 21 days of age. About 56% of the 379 raised in groups survived to a like age. The method of rearing larvae in a group had the advantage of easier maintenance.Keywords
