Survival and changes in the fine structure of selected tissues of Penaeus monodon Fabricius juveniles fed various carbohydrates
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1981)
Penaeus monodon juveniles were reared on semipurified diets containing various carbohydrates (maltose, sucrose, dextrin, molasses, cassava starch, corn starch or sago palm starch). Significant differences were observed ...
The water stability of shrimp diets with various polysaccharides as a binding agent
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1981)
The water stability of shrimp (Penaeus monodon) diets with various polysaccharides as binding agents were tested without steaming. The diet with alginate showed the best water stability and did not completely disintegrate ...
Hepatopancreas cells as monitor cells for the nutritional value of prawn diets in aquaculture
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1985)
The hepatopancreas is considered to be the central organ of metabolism in decapod Crustacea. It is a system of blind tubules consisting of four cell types. The E-cells at the summits of the tubules develop into R-cells ...
Ipil-ipil (Leucaena leucocephala) leaves as a plant protein source in prawn diets
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1980)
Penaeus monodon juveniles were fed diets containing fish meal, shrimp head meal and ipil-ipil leaves soaked and unsoaked, local and peruvian varieties. Mean weight gain at the end of 8 wk was significantly highest among ...
Growth and survival of Penaeus monodon Fabricius zoeae on different diatom feeds
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1980)
A study was undertaken to determine the most suitable food for Penaeus monodon zoea out of mixed diatoms, Skeletonema costatum, Chaetoceros calcitrans and C. gracilis. Results indicate that mixed diatoms and C. gracilis ...
Attractants in purified diets
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1980)
Juvenile Penaeus monodon were reared on purified diets containing different attractants used to gelatinize the cornstarch: plain water, shrimp, mussel, squid or trash fish extract. The highest survival rate was observed ...
Improvement of diet attractability for Penaeus monodon by supplementing various attractants
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1981)
An experiment was undertaken to test the effect of supplemental krill meal, earthworm meal, glycine, sucrose or mussel water on diet attractibility of Penaeus monodon. Only glycine or mussel water significantly improved ...

Following an account of the feeding habits and nutritional needs of Penaeus monodon, diet formulation for cultured shrimp is discussed in detail. Equipment required, preparation of the diets and methods of feeding are detailed.
Ruppia maritima and Najas graminea as natural foods for Penaeus monodon juveniles
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1985)
Ruppia maritima (kusay-kusay, Hiligaynon) and Najas graminea (digman, Hiligaynon) are macrophytes growing in local brackishwater ponds believed to provide food and shelter to prawns and fishes. Their effect on growth and ...
Status of prawn (Penaeus monodon) feed development in the Philippines
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1984)
Approximately a decade ago the culture of sugpo or tiger prawn (Penaeus monodon) was in its infancy. Prawns were stock alone together with milkfish and fed mainly on natural food present in ponds. High market prices, ...
