(eds.), BRAQCON 2019: World Brackishwater Aquaculture Conference. Journal of Coastal Research, Special Issue No. 86, pp. 73–81. Coconut Creek (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208. Production of fish larvae in captivity and its rearing are the key factors behind the successful mass propagation of any commercial important aquaculture species. Towards this goal, efforts were carried out to standardize fry production and larval rearing of hilsa shad, Tenualosha ilisha. Artificial fertilization of hilsa was done through dry stripping method. Experiments were carried out to understand the embryonic development, larval rearing, ontogenic development of gut and digestive enzymes. Significantly (P
