The suitability of various natural food types on survival and development of the zoeal stages of Portunus pelagicus was investigated using Artemia nauplii and Brachionus as primary rations, and Tetraselmis and Chaetoceros as algal supplemented. Brachionus fed alone or in combination with algae, gave the highest survival (average of 67.8%), algae, gave the highest survival (average of 67.8%) up to Zoea-4. Artemia nauplii, fed alone or in combination with algae, were superior in enhancing development from Z-1 to Z-2 and Z-4 to megalopa. Results suggest that algae supplementation may not be necessary for the promotion of survival and development of megalopa
