The nutritional value of nauplii and metanauplii I of Artemia enriched with microalgae as food for freshwater prawn larvae (Macrobrachium americanum) was tested. The larvae were fed with three different diets consisting of Artemia nauplii (D-1), Artemia metanauplii I enriched with Tetraselmis suecica (D-2), and Artemia metanauplii I enriched with Chaetoceros calcitrans (D-3) from zoea (Z)(II). Growth showed differences since the third week, and the highest and lowest growth was observed with D-3 and D-1, respectively. The first metamorphosis to post-larvae appeared with treatment D-3 at 9 weeks. Survival showed differences at the first week with D-1 and D-3 treatments, and D-2 showed the best survival up to week 4. From the sixth week to the end, treatment D-3 reached the highest survival. With treatments D-1 and D-2, all larvae died at the 9th and 10th week, respectively. D-3 was the most effective of the three diets.
