Abstract:The newly hatched larvae of artificially propagated Sebastiscus marmoratus were conducted to investigate the effect of salinity gradients (5.0,7.5,10.0,15.0,20.0,25.0,30.0,35.0) on survival activity index (SAI) of larval S. marmoratus without feeding at three temperatures (12 ℃, 16 ℃, 20 ℃). The results showed that the different salinity had a significant effect on the SAI value of newly hatched larvae of S. marmoratus. The change of SAI value increased first and then decreased with the increas of salinity.The SAI of all three different temperature treatments reached the maximum at 25.0 salinity, which was significantly higher than that of treatments with 5.0,7.5,10.0,15.0 and 35.0 salinity (P<0.05). Under the same salinity, the SAI value of S. marmoratus larvae was the highest at 12 ℃ which was significantly higher than those at 16 ℃ and 20 ℃, and the SAI value decreased with the temperature increase. In conclusion, S.marmoratus larvae survived the longest time and had the best hunger tolerance under the conditions of water temperature 12 ℃ and salinity 25.0.
