ABSTRACT The effect of temperature on the early development of Haliotis diversicolor Reeve was studied as a strategy to define the optimum temperature range for experiments on early developmental conditions of this species. The survival rate of Haliotis diversicolor Reeve of different stages of early development varied significantly at different temperatures (17[degrees]C, 21[degrees]C, 24[degrees]C, 27[degrees]C, 31[degrees]C, and 33.5[degrees]C) (P
