Abstract:
In India, directed research on penaeid prawn nutrition
was taken up only recently when the aquaculture of prawns
gained momentum. One of the important penaeid prawns sought for
culture and has great potential is Penagus indiggs, H.Milne
Edwards. The Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute working
on different aspects of culture of this species over the
past one and half decades, has developed a hatchery technology
for mass production of its seed and has suggested several
improvements on its farming in the grow-out systems. One of the
areas of active research in this direction has been on the nutrition
of the species with a view to develop suitable feed not only
for hatchery production of seed, but also in the field culture.
As part of this investigation, the present study, on the evaluation
of different protein and carbohydrate sources and mineral
requirements for the juvenile E, indicus was taken up and the
results obtained are embodied in the thesis
