Post-larval (PL) P. monodon spawned from the wild Andaman Sea
brood stock were obtained from a hatchery in central Thailand. They
were transported to Kasetsart University in Bangkok and reared in 2-
ton indoor tanks supplied with chlorinated seawater at ~28 °C. Shrimp
were reared on a diet of commercial feed pellets (5% body weight d−1)
for 3 months prior to the experiments.
