Generally, the development of early life stage from fertilization to embryo formation among teleost fish follows the same pattern [9]. Despite scientific description of ova, development of the embryo, methodology of larval rearing and enhancement of juvenile production is still minimal. Hatching and chronological flow of embryonic development differs between the species and its environmental conditions. The free embryo phase begins when the embryo is free of egg membranes. The beginning of the larval period is indicated when the larvae are able to capture feed objects [10].
The present study is immensely support the aquarist to culture A. melanopus an in eco-friendly and successfully throughout the year. It is also helpful in employment generation in the coastal regions, as these fishes have high trade value.
