Description Cholesterol is an essential nutrient in the diet of juvenile P. indicus. Survival, growth FeR
(Feed conversion ratio), PER (Protein efficiency ratio) and protein retention of juveniles were
greally affected by cholesterol deficiency. The growth, FCR, PER and protein retention in the
body were significantly improved on inclusion 01 0.5% cholesterol in the diet of prawn which
resulted in more protein deposition in the body. Cholesterol requirement tor juvenile prawn
seems to be 0.5% of the diet. No harmful effect was observed in the prawn on addi.tion of
higher level (4%) cholesterol in its diet.
