Ration size, feeding frequency, prawn culture, Penaeus monodonAbstract
Optimum ration for Penaeus monodon juveniles with an average size of 3.3 cm (0.209 g) has been determined after conducting feeding trials with rations at 0, 3, 6, 9,12, 15,18 and 21 percent of the body weight on a clam meal based diet. The results of the study indicated that 6% was the optimum ration while the maintenance ration and maximum ration were found to be 1.8% and 15%, respectively. The optimum feedng frequency was found out by feeding the juveniles with the selected ration at different frequencies. The highest weight gain was recorded in the case of prawns fed thrice daily.Downloads
