Studies on Molting, Molting Frequency and Growth of Shrimp (Penaeus monodon) Fed on Natural and Compounded Diets
Abstract:
Postlarval and subadult Penaeus monodon were reared in plastic bowls and tanks and fed on different natural diets – mussels, chopped shrimp and beef liver – and compounded dry and moist diets in order to investigate the relationship of molting to growth. Molting frequency was found to vary according to diet. Smaller shrimp had greater frequency of molting than larger ones.
