To further understand the effects of light on the brood size of was statistically analyzed under different light intensities which were normal light (12L:12D) and complete dark. The results show that the egg-holding rate of the normal light group was (95.8±3.6)%, which was significantly higher than that of the dark group at 0 (<0.05), indicating that an appropriate light intensity had a promoting effect on the brood size of The effects of different biological diets on the survival rate and development period of larvae were also analyzed, finding that the larvae survival rate was (38.3±2.3)% and the zoea larvae developed into post-larvae after 25-29 d in a mixed diet group ( Daday). In a single diet group (), the larvae survival rate was (26.8±4.9)% and the zoea larvae developed into post-larvae after 37-41 d. The survival rate and development time of larvae in a mixed diet group were significantly higher and shorter, respectively, than those of a single diet group (Moina mongolica Daday was more beneficial to larva survival and development of alone. In addition, the present study also described nine zoea stages of in detail. This study is significant for enriching the reproductive biology theory and conducting artificial propagation of .
