Prawns were stock alone together with milkfish and fed mainly on natural food present in ponds. High market prices, increase consumer demand, and availability of seeds through artificial propagationin the last six years have brought about a shift towards more intesive culture of prawns. With the advent of the monoculture and more intensive farming of sugpo has come a greater demand for an external source of food because natural food organism in the ponds would no longer suffice to meet the dietary requirements of the prawns. The intensive culture of prawns requires knoledge of their nutrient requirements in order to provide adecquate food for growth and survival. Knowledge of their feeding habits is important particilarly in feed developmemt. Prawn culturists and nutritionists are faced not only with problems of nutritional requirements but also practical consideration such as physical feature of the diet, methods and frequency of feeding, feeding behavior and feeding preferences at varios stage of the life cycle,effects of the food on water quality, amount of feed and types of facilities appropriate for culture.

Philippine export of Penaeus monodon in 1983 was estimated at 4,450 MT of which 2,000 MT was caught in the fishing waters and about 2,450 MT produced from aquaculture. These are mostly exported to Japan and the United States in processed and quick-frozen form. Sun, 01 Jan 1984 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10862/3440 1984-01-01T00:00:00Z
