Description A five-week laboratory experiment was conducted
to evaluate the efficacy of plant-based substrates for
biofilm production and their effect on water quality
as well as growth and survival of freshwater prawn
Macrobrachium rosenbergii (De Man, 1879) postlarvae.
The experiment consisted of three treatments
with a control, each with three replicates following
a completely randomized design. The substrates
evaluated were dried sugarcane bagasse (T1), paddy
straw (T2) and Eichhornia (T3). Tanks without
substrates acted as control. Seven days after the
introduction of substrates at the rate of 300 g /tank,
post-larvae were stocked at 40 nos/m2. The mean
initial length and weight of the post-larvae was
10.3 mm and 0.008 g, respectively. The post-larvae
were fed with commercial pellet feed (30% protein)
at 20% of initial biomass. Results revealed
significantly higher (p
