Octopus seed production

I got three batch of octopus (Octopus mimus) eggs and tried to produce seeds in 2005 and 2006. The eggs forms a bunch of eggs and shapes teardrop (2x0.8 mm) which takes a month from fertilization to hatch-out. Hatch-out larva (D0, TL 2mm) resemble adult which has tentacles, york and chromatophore. Live feeds, rotifer and Artemia, are fed, but it not accepted. According to fish institute in Japan they produced 16 thousand juvenile, survival rate 66 %, fed with sand eel strip and Tibet Artemia in 2001.
