dc.description.abstractGrowth of the trilobite larvae of Tachypleus gigas was studied at salinity ranging from 10 to 40 ppt. In terms of body weight, the growth was higher (232 plus or minus 7.5 mg/week) (P < 0.05) at 40 ppt salinity, and the first moulting was also recorded on the 35th day. Though the maximum weight attained by the larvae was at salinity 10 ppt (260 plus or minus 5.9 mg/week) (P < 0.05), its moulting was not recorded until the 45th day. At 20 and 30 ppt, the weights attained by the larvae were 177 and 165 mg respectively, and moulting occurred on the 42nd day at both salinities.
