Growth of the Indian white prawn Penaeus indicus in relation to stocking density

One month old seed of Penaeus indicus were stocked in 4 identical ponds at stocking densities of 5/m super(2), 10/m super(2), 25/m super(2) and after 110 days they had attained a size of 128 mm, 108 mm, 88 mm and 64 mm respectively. There was a clear inverse relationship between stocking density and...

Zusammenfassung:One month old seed of Penaeus indicus were stocked in 4 identical ponds at stocking densities of 5/m super(2), 10/m super(2), 25/m super(2) and after 110 days they had attained a size of 128 mm, 108 mm, 88 mm and 64 mm respectively. There was a clear inverse relationship between stocking density and growth. Growth was comparatively very comparatively very fast during the first month and a half and then slowed down considerably in all the ponds. The implications of the observed growth patterns are discussed.
