Abstract

Larvae of Metapenaeopsis stridulans (Alcock, 1905) from Malaysia were successfully reared in the laboratory from the egg to the 1st post-larval stage. The larvae developed through six naupliar, three protozoeal and four mysis stages. The morphology of all these larval stages is described and figured.
