  Effect of dietary nutrient source like, fishmeal (F1), soymeal (F2), casin (F3) and groundnut oilcake (F4) on nitrogen and phosphorus loading during culture of tiger shrimp, Penaeus monodon was assessed. Healthy shrimps (PL 25) with average body weight of 20.3 ± 0.3 mg were reared in 200 litre capacity FRP tanks containing 150 litre filtered seawater (20 ppt salinity) at the stocking density of 15 individuals/tank with well aeration in triplicate. Shrimps were fed with the experimental diets four times per day at adlibitum and the unfed remains were collected daily in the early hours and dried in an oven at 80°C. The growth of P. monodon was found to be greater (2.43 ± 0.07 g) with better FCR (1.71 ± 0.03) and SGR (5.33 ± 0.18%) on F1 diet. Total nitrogen losses were high in shrimps reared in F3 diet (73.34 ± 0.78 mg) whereas tot.. View More»
