Abstract:

The growth performance and digestive enzymic responses of early postlarval Penaeus monodon to four dietary groups including live, acid-treated and frozen Artemia salina nauplii and a compounded diet with a chemical composition similar to that of Artemia were studied. The growth of postlarvae fed live or acidified Artemia which had the highest protease activities was significantly greater than with the other two diet groups. Levels of dietary amylase activities did not cause differential growth results. The growth of shrimp could not be related directly to the digestive enzyme activities of the shrimp.
