Abstract

<jats:p>In Chile many experiments to artificially produce juvenile <jats:italic>Cryphiops</jats:italic> <jats:italic>caementarius</jats:italic> have been carried out in order to obtain enough stock for aquaculture or repopulation in natural habitats. The aquaculture production technology has been developed by the research staff of the Aquaculture Department of the Universidad Católica del Norte, with the aim of enhancing cultivation at commercial level, obtaining a sustainable production, and decreasing the fisheries pressure on natural populations. The latter is now based on the collection of ovigerous female obtained from their natural habitat. The research shows that it is possible to cultivate <jats:italic>C. caementarius</jats:italic> juveniles in 65 days through 18 zoeal stages.</jats:p>
