This survey was conducted to survey the substition effect of Arthrospira platensis andChaetoceros muelleri as food for feeding Litopenaeus vannamei during zoea and mysis stage. Larvae were cultured in 30 L containers filled by 10 L at a density of 100 Larvae. During the experiment salinity was 30 ppt and the average of temperature , pH and DO were 31.4ºC ,8.03 and 5.3 mg/l respectively .Three diet treatment and three replicates consist of twomonospecific and 1 combination of two algae were designed. All treatments received Artemia naupli at 5/ml from M1 and micro bound diet at 6 mg/l/d. Survival and total length were measured in zoea and mysisstage.The result indicate that highest survival rate in Zoea (63.17±1 %) and mysis (45.3±1.2 %) was obtained in Chaetoceros (P<0.05).Maximum total length in Zoea (2.64±0.1mm) which there was not significan with Chaetoceros( P>0.05)but In mysis stage (4.44±0.09mm ) was obtained in combination of Chaetoceros muelleri and Arthrospira platensis ( P<0.05 ).The result of this survey indicated that combination of Chaetoceros and Arthrospira platensis is better for feeding Litopenaeus vannamei during zoea and mysis stage.
