Description:Fire shrimp (Lysmata debelius) are a popular species in the marine aquarium trade. Wild collection of marine ornamental fishes and invertebrates, such as the fire shrimp, contribute to the pressures on natural populations of coral reef animals. The development of captive culture techniques would help safeguard coral reefs and is essential for the expansion of marine ornamental aquaculture technology. This paper presents a complete and descriptive protocol for the captive culture of fire shrimp. Using this diet, the authors raised 168 shrimp that metamorphosed into juveniles between 75 and 158 days post hatching. All shrimp that metamorphosed into juveniles provided healthy individuals suitable for the marine aquarium trade.
