First description of mantis shrimp, Miyakella nepa (Latreille, 1828), feeding preference behaviour in captive conditions
Mantis shrimps are stomatopod crustaceans yet to be successfully cultured on a commercial scale due to several impediments, namely their aggressive behaviour in a communal setting and a lack of understanding on their feeding regime during different life stages in captivity. Local adult mantis shrimp...

Mantis shrimps are stomatopod crustaceans yet to be successfully cultured on a commercial scale due to several impediments, namely their aggressive behaviour in a communal setting and a lack of understanding on their feeding regime during different life stages in captivity. Local adult mantis shrimp, Miyakella nepa (Latreille, 1828), were observed in laboratory conditions to obtain baseline data of feeding preference behaviour. M. nepa were kept individually, with tube shelter provided, either with or without sand substrate, to understand their burrowing behaviour (n = 16). Most of the stomatopods remained within the tube (>90% of observation time) during pre-feeding but ventured out of the shelter (47–60% of observation time) when feed was provided. They were presented with one or two types of natural feed to identify affinity towards specific food. During the 15-minute observation, mantis shrimps (n = 20) were placed in a testing arena and presented with natural feed. The fastest time for mantis shrimps to approach feed, indicating attractiveness, is fish, clam, shrimp, squid and then polychaetes.
