Larval rearing and spat production of edible oyster Crassostrea gryphoides (Schlotheim)

Abstract: The edible oyster Crassostrea gryphoides was induced to spawn in the laboratory by thermal stimulation, and the larvae were reared to spat. The larvae grow through the straight hinge (70 Â 60.5 mm), early umbo (96.25 Â87.5 mm), late umbo (215 Â 152.5 mm), eyed stage (290 Â222.5 mm) and pediveliger (308.25 Â254.17 mm) in pelagic phase before metamorphosing to spat, and these stages are described. These stages were reached at 20 h, on the ¢fth, 11th, 15th, 19th and 21st day respectively. Spat settlement percenta… Show more

“…3e) increased after 6 h. Exposure to high temperature is a common method of inducing spawning in oysters in hatcheries (e.g. Tibile and Singh 2003), and the transcription data for temptin and neuropeptide Y suggest that spawning could be influenced by simultaneous positive and negative regulation. Temptin is a component of the protein pheromone complex used by the mollusc Aplysia to attract mates and stimulate spawning behavior (Cummins et al 2004) and may play a role in promoting C. gigas spawning.…”

“…In contrast, larger pediveliger larvae of O. edulis (280-290 µm in length) have been obtained within 9 or 10 days (Walne, 1966). In Crassostrea gryphoides, larvae similarly reached the pediveliger stage on day 18 (at 23°C) but at 300-350 µm (Tibile and Singh, 2003) or on day 20 at 280-300 µm (Utting and Spencer, 1991).…”
