Our hypothesis was that more frequent feeding would result in higher nutrient intake
and hence higher growth rates of the shrimp. The objective of this study was to quantify

the effect of feeding frequencies between 3 and 6 times day?1on both shrimp growth and
survival, as well as water and substrate quality, in tanks designed to simulate pond
conditions.
