In order to obtain the basic biological data for artificial seedling production of sea cucumber, Stichopus japonicus, the influence of water temperature and air dry for spawning induction, egg development and larvae rearing was investigated during the period from April, 1995 through September, 1995. Spawning induction rate by the water temperature was 6.0~17.5% and air dry was responsed 1.4~4.0%. Number of eggs spawned of Stichopus japonicus were $50~500\times10^4$ individuals, the fertilization and hatching rate were ranged 84.0~96.0%, 71.4~84.6% respectively. The fertilized egg of Stichopus japonicus appeared mean diameter of $154{\mu}m$. At a constant water temperature of $23^{circ)C$, it become 4 tell stage from fertilization after 2 hours 10 minutes, hatching larvae after 14 hours half, auricularia larvae after 3 days, doliolaria larvare after 11 days and pentactula larvae after 15 days ready for settlement. The suitable food in the larvae reared for 17 days after fertilization were shown the best growth and survival in the larvae food of Chaetoceros calcitrans. Optimum density for larvae rearing were maintained of the larval density lower than 2 individuals/ml.

Paralarvae of the common squid, Todarodes pacificus, were sampled with the bongo net (diameter: 60 cm, mesh: $333{\mu}m$) with a research vessel (Tamgu 20) at 18 stations along the coastal waters of the Yellow Sea in spring and autumn from 2013 to 2015. Over this period, 4 Paralarvae were collected. Paralarval density was $0.1inds./1,000m^3$ and $0.2inds./1,000m^3$ in autumn 2014 and $0.1inds./1,000m^3$ and $0.2inds./1,000m^3$ in autumn 2015. The range of mantle length for paralarvae was from 1.5 to 8.3 mm. Survival temperature ($15-24^{\circ}C$) for embryo stage and paralarvae was found in locations shallower than 56 m of depth at stations which were sampled for paralarvae.

The first zoeal stage of Heptacarpus rectirostris (Stimpson, 1860) is re-described and illustrated in detail from laboratory-hatched material. The first zoea of H. rectirostris is more closely related to that of H. futilirostris than to H. camtschaticus, H. pandaloides, and H. geniculatus by having the pterygostomial spine and two anteroventral denticles on the carapace. The former two species, however, can be readily distinguished by the presence (H. futilirostris) or absence (H. rectirostris) of the posterolateral spine on the abdominal somites 4-5. A provisional key to the first zoeas of Heptacarpus for which larval studies are known from Korea and adjacent waters is provided. A list of larval descriptions within the Hippolytidae from Korea and adjacent waters is also included.

The first zoea of Liomera bella belonging to the subfamily Liomerinae is described and illustrated for the first time. Its morphological characteristics are compared with those of other known species of the Xanthidae The general morphology of it corresponds well with zoeas of the Xanthidae. Based on the zoeal morphology, the zoea of L. bella shows a greatest affinity with those of Xontho incisus and Pseudomedaeus agassizii by having the exopod of antenna with two setae, the terminal segment of the endopod of the second maxilliped with six setae, and the fork of telson with one stout and one smaller lateral spines.

The complete larval development of Hemigrapsus penicillatus(De Haan, 1835) from hatching to first crab stage was obtained by culture in the laboratory. Under culture conditions with salinity 33.3% , temperature $25^{\circ}C$, and photophase 14/10 h light/dark, the megalopa and the first crab instar were attained in minimum of 18 and 29 days after hatching respectively. Five zoeal stages and a megalopal stage are described and illustrated in detail. Morphological characters of H. penicillatus larvae were compared with those of other members within the subfamily Varuninae. Morphological differences among H. penicillatus, H. sanguineus and H. sinensis in megalopal stage are tabulated.

The 7 zoeal and 1 megalopal stages of Cha~bdi8 bimaculata (Miers, 1886) are descrihed and iflustrated in detail from larvae reared in lahoratory. Under isboratory conditions of 22$^{\circ}C$ temperature and 33.3~ salinity, the magalopa was attained in 32 days or more after hatching. The larval morphology of the first zoea of C. bimaculata are coincide with those of Charybdis species by hearing lateral spines on carapace, ~type antenna, A-type telson, 1,6 setae on the endoped of maxillule, and 6 setae on the endopod of maxilla. Morphological features of C. bimaculata larvae were compared to the previous descriptions of larvae of the other spedes helonging to the same genus.

For the development of seedling production techniques of the freshwater crab Eriocheir japonicus, the effects of salinity and temperature on the growth of larvae of the crab were studied. Embryos hatched out as zoea larvae were measured 0.421 mm in average carapace length. Five zoea stages needed 16-26 days for metamorphosis from zoea to megalopa at $22^{\circ}C$ and $24.5\%o$. The average carapace length of the 5th zoea was 1.16 mm and that of the megalopa larvae was 1.89 mm. Each zoea stage could be identified based on both the number of plumosed seatae on the exopodite of maxilliped, and the number of spines on the posteroinner margin of tel son and also based on the rudimentary pleopods appearence. Zoea larvae fed rotifers and Artemia nauplii were healthy and metamorphosing rate from zoea to megalopa was $80\~90\%\;at\;22\~26^{\circ}C\;and\;17.5\~31.5\%o$. The relationship between larval period (Y in days) and water temperature $(X\;in\;^{\circ}C)$ is expressed as Log Y = 3.8604-1.91735 LogX. Water temperature and salinity ranges for better survival and metamorphosis of the larvae were $ 22^{\circ}C\~26^{\circ}C\;(optimum\;at\; 26^{\circ}C)\;and\;17.5\%o\~31.5\%o\;(optimum\;at\;24.5\%)$, respectively. The duration of larval stages tend to longer as salinity levels deviated from optimum particulaly at lower end. All zoea larvae did not survive in freshwater.

Rearing condition and species of microalgae on growth and survival of the sunray surf clam, Mactra chinensis larvae were investigated for artificial seedling production. The larvae of M. chinensis on higher temperature showed high growth and low survival and was grown over $230{\mu}m$ in shell length 14 days after hatching, but low growth as $151.1{\mu}m$ at $18^{\circ}C$. The larvae of M. chinensis on salinity showed highest daily growth and survival as $11.3{\mu}m$ and 65.8% at 30 psu, respectively. The optimum of water temperature and salinity for the larval rearing were $23^{\circ}C$ and 30-35 psu over 25 psu at least. The density of larval rearing was below 10 per 1 ml in rearing seawater for elevating the development rate from D-shaped to settled (metamorphosing) stage. The larvae fed the mixed diet of Isochrysis galbana, Pavlova lutheri, Isochrysis sp. (green), Chlorella ellipsoidea showed highest growth and survival. The larvae fed the single diet of I. galbana, Isochrysis sp. (green) showed high growth and survival. But the larvae fed the single diet of P. lutheri and C. ellipsoidea showed low growth and survival. The optimum diet of larvae of M. chinensis was over two species of microalgae included I. galbana, Isochrysis sp. (green) for elevating the high growth and survival.

In order to set up a predictive model for effective spat collection of Pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas, the survival rate and time required at each developmental stage of drifting larvae were surveyed during the period from June 13 to October 16 in 1984 at the main oyster farming area, Hansan Bay, the southern part of Korea. The advent of D-shape larvae ca. $72{\times}61{\mu}m$ long had two peaks in that area : July 16 and September 20. Umbo-shape larvae ca. $189{\times}217{\mu}m$ and full grown larvae co. $303{\times}308{\mu}m$ long also showed two peaks: July 21 and September 25 for the former, and July 28 and September 30 for the latter. About five days were required for D-shape larvae to develop to umbo-shape larvae. The instantaneous death rate was 0.24 and the daily survival rate 0.78 with a mean survival rate of $29.38\%$, at this intermorphological stage. The turnover time of umbo to full grown larvae varied from five to seven days with a instantaneous death rate of 0.15, daily survival rate of 0.86 and mean survival rate of $38.54\%$. Ten to twelve days were required for each group of the D-shape larvae to reach a full grown stage, and their mean survival rate was $11.32\%$ during this developmental period.
