Grassy shrimp Pandalus latirostris is characterized as a potential aquaculture object. Morphological and behavioral differences in the early stages are defined. The most significant restructuring of individual morphology is completed while molting to the third stage. By this moment, the basic structure of the respiratory system are developed, exopodites of maxillipede III are reduced; pleopods and caudal fan are used as the main locomotor organs. The ongoing further changes are gradual and incremental, and do not have a significant impact on the behavior of individuals. Researches have shown the possibility of obtaining P. latirostris juveniles in artificial conditions using nauplii Artemia sp. feed. Nonwater method of shrimp transportation was developed. This method allows long-distance transportation of live shrimp. We studied growth rates, duration of the stages and intermoult periods; feeds for larvae and juveniles have been chosen. Previously obtained data on the possibility of adult shrimp P. latirostris long-term keeping in artificial conditions are confirmed. All this, together with the available data on the biology of the species, allow considering grassy shrimp P. latirostris as a promising aquaculture object
