Effects of Temperature on the Survival and Larval Development of <i>Deiratonotus</i> <i>Japonicus</i> (Brachyura, Camptandriidae) as a Biological Indicator
<i>Deiratonotus japonicus</i> (<i>D. japonicus</i>) inhabits isolated locations and upstream brackish waters from Kanagawa Prefecture to Okinawa Prefecture in Japan. This species faces the threat of extinction because of changing habitat conditions. Our previous studies have...

In this study, the effect of temperature on the survival and growth of larval development in <i>D. japonicus</i> under controlled laboratory conditions of 13, 18, 23, 24, 25, and 26 °C was investigated by rearing larvae (30 PSU; 12:12 h light/dark cycle; fed a diet of <i>Brachionus plicatilis rotundiformis</i> and <i>Artemia</i> sp. nauplii).

There were rapid and synchronous developments at 25−26 °C but delayed and extended developments at 13 °C. The molting period decreased with increasing temperature. With decreasing temperature, the beginning of the development and duration of molting was prolonged. In addition, there were very low survival rates at 13 °C and 26 °C in all zoeal stages.

<i>Deiratonotus japonicus</i> (<i>D. japonicus</i>) inhabits isolated locations and upstream brackish waters from Kanagawa Prefecture to Okinawa Prefecture in Japan. This species faces the threat of extinction because of changing habitat conditions.
