At hatching, the larvae were 3.02±0.06 mm in
total length. The larvae brought about a size of
4.53±0.12 mm between 48 to 50 h subsequent to
hatching. These variations may be owing to bulk of
eggs and their diameters, that are positively
correlated with larval length and weight at hatching
(Pepin 1991). Within the first 2 days of hatching, the
