Extract

Twenty-one species of female decapod Crustacea with gravid ovaries were collected from the field and spawned naturally in the laboratory. Newly spawned eggs and incubating females were kept at temperatures between 3 °C and 24 °C constant at 3 °C increments until the eggs hatched after completing their embryonic development.
