The effect of water exchange, salinity regime, stocking density and diets on growth and survival of domesticated
Penaeus monodon juveniles was evaluated in two independent experiments. In the first experiment,
1 g-domesticated P. monodon juveniles were stocked at 10 animals per m2 in 1-m3 tanks to test two feeding
regimes (mono diet of high protein pellets and a combination diet of high protein pellets and a fresh-food
combination) and two rearing systems (a sand-based recirculation system with low water exchange; and a
sand-based system with high rates of flow-through water).
