Description A quantitative study on the occurrence of major biochemical constituents including
protein, carbohydrate, lipid and cholesterol in the muscle of different growth stages of
Penaeus monodon collected from semi-intensive (SI) and modified-extensive (ME) culture
ponds of coastal Andhra Pradesh, adopting different feeding schedules was undertaken.
The objective was to determine the effects of the age of shrimp and the stocking density
on the biochemical composition of the muscle. Protein was found to be the major biochemical
constituent and an increase in protein content with advancement of shrimp age was
recorded. Glycogen occurred only in traces. Lipid and cholesterol occurred in moderate
quantities with concentrations slightly higher in shrimps of SI ponds as compared to those
of ME ponds. Overall, the stocking density had little impact on protein and glycogen concentration
in the muscle.
