Title Food intake, growth and conversion efficiency in
Macrobrachium rosenbergii (de Man) and M.
lanchesteri (de Man)
 
Creator Panikkar, Preetha
 
Subject Prawn and Prawn fisheries
 
Description The effects of body size on the food intake, growth and conversion efficiency of
two freshwater prawns, Macrobrachium rosenbergii and M. lanchesteri were
studied. Three size groups were selected and they were fed daily ad libitum on
Tubifex worms. Triplicates were maintained for each set. The absolute quantity
of food consumed by the prawns increased with increase in size. The decrease in
growth of larger prawns in both the species may be due to the inverse size
metabolism relationship and advance in age.
