Massive production of larvae and seeds of the sea urchin Loxechinus albus.

Abstract

A convenient technique of larval and juvenile cultivation has been implemented in tanks of respectively 2000 and 5000 L. Survival rate of premetamorphic larvae after 20 days is 49.9 ± 8.1%. With a metamorphosis rate of 28.5 ± 2.8 % and within 6 months are obtained 98500 ± 11269 seeds of 5 mm per tank. These seeds can be transferred to the sea for intensive cultivation systems or reseeding programs.
