This study describes the advances in spotted rose snapper Lutjanus guttatus juveniles production. The broodstock (three groups, each of ten females, mean ± SD: 0.91 ± 0.2 kg and 20 males 1.2 ± 0.3 kg) with two years, were acclimated for 1.5 years in three communal cylindrical fiberglass tanks (18-m3). Fertilized eggs were obtained during natural spawning seasons. Floating eggs (average 90 ± 2%) were collected between 12 to 14 h after spawning. An average of 97% of them were transparent with live embryos. For the larval rearing process, initial stocking densities were 196 ± 70 embryos/l, incubated in twelve 6-m3 cylindrical fiberglass tanks with 3-m3 of water. The incubation period was 20 h at 26-28 °C. Hatching and survival at 48-h post-hatch (hph) were 90 ± 2% and 55 ± 10%, respectively, with an average of 281,258± 92,202 48-h larvae per tank and 105 ± 33 larvae/l at first feeding. A total of 338,812 juveniles with 45 days post-hatched (dph) were harvested, at an average of 28,234 ± 11,890 per larval rearing tank (2.4±1.0/l), and 180,000 juveniles (BW: Body weight of 5-8 g) from the nursery tanks with 90 dph. Average survival from first feeding to end of 45 dph rearing period was 12 ± 9%. The average harvest weight was 0.47 ± 0.10 g BW and the average final biomass per larval tank was 13 kg. An efficiency index at 45 days culture was 10 / 48-h larvae/juvenile, while at 90 dph the efficiency index was 19 / 48-h larvae/juvenile. The result showed that changes to the previous culture protocols of the CIAD-Mazatlan fish plant, ensure a higher production of juveniles.
