Larviculture of slipper lobsters in the genus Ibacus and Thenus: A review

Tóm tắt

     Slipper lobsters are commercially important crustaceans for the Indo-West Pacific countries. The populations of these lobsters at several locations are recently declined probably due to over-exploitation. Juvenile production and the subsequent farming are required for the food production and resource conservation; however, the techniques have not been established yet at practical level. To sort our current knowledge on the slipper lobster aquaculture, a history of larviculture is reviewed with a special attention to the dietary items of lobster larvae.
