Using purified diets

Subject Prawn and Prawn fisheries
 
Description Six purified diets were formulated and prepared using casein, starch, flshand-
groundnut oil mixture ( 1 : 1 ratio), vitamins, minerals and other additives,
with the protein content varying from 20 to 70%, to study the protein requirement
of the postlarvae fPL 1 to PL 42) of the prawn Penaeus indicus.
The results of the feeding experiments conducted separately on group I
(PLl to PLIO), group II (PLll to PL25) and group III (PL27 to PL42) for
a duration of 10, 15 and 15 days, respectively, showed that the growth of group I
postlarvae increased with the increasing protein content of the diet up to 40%
and declined thereafter. The growth obtained by the diet with 40% protein was
highly significant (P
