Abstract: Responses of Anadara antiquate larval to various ambient water temperatures and salinity levels were measured in terms of hatchability and larval development rate.The results showed that A.antiquate developed to D-model larvae from fertilized eggs for about 22 hours and 45 minutes when incubated at the ambient temperature of 28 ℃ and the salinity level of 28.The optimum ambient temperature for larval development ranged between 25~29℃,within which A.antiquata had a higher embryonic development rate and a higher hatchability but a low malformation rate.The optimum ambient salinity for larval development was 22~30,at which A.antiquata gave a higher hatchability and a higher larval development rate,and the larvae hatched from the eggs grew well.
