This study was conducted to determine the optimal salinity and temperature suitable for H. asinina during the early embryonic and post-embryonic developmental stages. Factoral completely randomized desion was used in the experiment. The study was conducted by stocking fertilized eggs and newly hatched larvae in 4 levels of temperature (23 degress, 26 degrees, 29 degress and 32 degree centigrade =+ 0.5 degree centigrade) and 4 levels salinity (25, 30, 35 and 40 ppt). The effect on the duration of development, hatching rate survival rate of larvae and larval sizes was evaluated.
