This study was to understand the processes in early life history of the shrimpfish (Aeoliscus strigatus)in captivity. The Neomysis was the best feed for broodstock compared with copepod and Artemia. Spawning started from 18:30 to 20:30, with about 1-43 eggs per spawning. The spherical eggs were about 1.10 ± 0.06 mm (n = 30) in diameter, with an oil droplet of 0.23 ± 0.04 mm in diameter. The newly hatched larvae were about 2.62 ± 0.12 mm in total length (The fertilized egg took 32 h to hatch under 25 ± 1oC ) and were fed with rotifers from day one post hatching (1 DPH) to12 DPH. On 13 DPH, copepod was supplied as the feeds and gradually increased until it totally replaced rotifers on the 20 DPH. The 28 DPH old fry were about 6.25 mm in total length.
