Abstract
Spot shrimp (Pandalus platyceros) were cultured in the laboratory from ovigerous females and eggs detached from females caught in Dabob Bay of Hood Canal, Washington. A tank was designed specifically to incubate the detached eggs in a recirculating seawater system. After hatching, the larvae were cultured in beakers in a water bath and fed newly-hatched Artemia.Morphological descriptions of the larval stages were made and discussed. The fifth stage was considered the megalopa (post-larval).
