Abstract
Egg and larvae quality are deeply influenced by various environmental factors, culture practices, and the domestication level of the species (Migaud et al., 2013). Environmental factors play a crucial role in the development and survival of eggs and larvae of aquatic animals such as fish, molluscs, octopus, squids, and sea turtles etc (Bobe et al., 2015). Some important environmental factors include temperature, food, pollutants, population density, sound, photoperiod (light), and parasites. All those factors can impact the growth, development, and overall health of these early life stages. Early larvae stages are the most crucial and vulnerable stages in the life cycle of fishes, and also affect the development, survival, and distribution and migration behaviour of larvae.
