One adult Metanephrops japonicus female and male each were caught off the coast of Kominato, Kamogawa City, Chiba Prefecture, at a depth of approximately 200 m. The female was observed to carry eggs 8 months after the sampling. Larvae hatched after 6 months of egg incubation. At laboratory water temperatures of 6.6-14.1 degC, egg loss was not observed. The maximum duration of larval stage was 3 days, and megalopae developed at the benthic stage beginning approximately 2 days after hatching. Megalopae actively burrowed into the sediment, forming and living in solitary burrows approximately 20 mm in diameter.
