ABSTRACT:
The disclosure relates to methods and compositions for use in crustacean aquaculture. In one embodiment, a compound having juvenile hormone activity is administered to female crustacea, as a supplement to conventional aquaculture diet, in an amount effective to stimulate an increase in viable larvae production. In a second embodiment, juvenile hormone, in an edible carrier, is supplied as a substitute for annelid worms in a conventional aquaculture diet.
