Cultivation of Pseudoterranova decipiens (Sealworm) from Third-Stage Larvae to Egg-Laying Adults in Vitro

Third-stage larvae (L 3 ) of Pseudoterranova decipiens from cod (Gadus morhua) developed to maturity at 35 °C in a two-step roller culture system. The medium was API-1 for step 1, and API-1 with bovine haem supplement for step 2. The gas phase was 85% N: 10% CO 2 :5% O 2 .
