Description
Ovigerous females of Synalpheus fritzmuelleri, S . minu s ,
and S. pectiniger were taken from Phragmatopoma (wormrock)
colonies and sponges offshore from Bear Cut, Miami and at
Boca Raton and Deerfield Beach, Florida. First stage zoeal
forms were obtained and different foods, temperatures, and
antibiotics were utilized in attempts to rear the larvae to
metamorphosis. All three zoeal forms hatched with a large
supply of yolk and molted within two hours of hatching.
S. fritzmuelleri larvae were translucent with red chromatophores
scattered over the carapace and abdominal somites. All three
forms differed in size; S. fritzmuelleri was smallest and
S. minus largest. S. minus died in the fourth stage, while
both S. pectiniger and S. fritzmuelleri survived until the
fifth stage. Pleopod buds were absent from all larval stages.
All zoeae obtained were described, illustrated, and compared
to each other.
