Abstract This study reports the first successful spawning, egg hatching and production phyllosoma larvae of Mediterranean slipper lobster Scyllarides latus in a tank-based culture facility in hatchery conditions. The characteristics of the broodstock rearing system, the collection and handling, food and feeding, husbandry techniques, mating and spawning, hatching of eggs and survival of the phyllosoma larvae were examined.
