Effect of lower salinities on growth and survival of early juveniles of the King prawn Penaeus latisulcatus Kishinouye under laboratory conditions

Year: 1986

Type: article

Abstract: Early juveniles of the King prawn Penaeus latisukalus reared in 34.12 ppt tolerated lower salinities \nof 10 to 25 ppt without acclimatisation, whereas cent percent mortality was recorded in 0 ppt and 40% in \n5 ppt. In the case of prawns acclimatised to salinities on 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 ppt, the percentage of survival \nduring one month rearing was 6.7, 40.0, 73.3, 93.3 and 86.7 respectively. In terms of growth per month, \nthe prawns reared in 15-25 ppt salinities recorded a higher growth of 7.7 to 9.5 mm as against 4.1 to 5.7 \nmm in 5-10 ppt. The significance of these experimental results in the context of farming of this species is \nbriefly discussed.
