Development duration of Uca vocator larvae (in days, average ± standard deviation) from hatching to megalopa and for each zoeal stage (ZI–ZV) reared in seven different salinity treatments. Values without bar specifically refer to the time in which larvae survived until dying without moulting to the subsequent zoeal stage. Numbers inside bars refer to the number of specimens in each zoeal stage. Different letters above bars indicate significant differences (P < 0.05) after pair-wise comparisons
