current bottlenecks impairing their large-scale production. Special
emphasis is given to species playing an important role for biomedical
and academic research, for bioprospecting of new drugs and for the
marine aquarium trade. The husbandry requirements of reproductive
broodstock are addressed, along with the most relevant aspects of
sea slug reproduction from an aquaculture perspective. Larviculture
protocols for the most commonly cultured sea slugs are reviewed,
with emphasis to culture systems, diets and cues known to trigger
metamorphosis. Current methodologies available for the grow-out
of juvenile sea slugs are presented, with particular focus on the
challenging task of providing suitable diets to stenophagous species.
