The larvae were rearing at 25 ind/l feeding on the microalgae ChaRtoceros gracilis (50.000 cells/ml), for 27 days. Every day some larvae were collected and its description was done. The development of the larvae is described. Moreover, it was evident the possibility of culture this species, mainly in relation of the broodstock management and larvae condition rearing.
