Year: 2013

Type: article

Abstract: The littoral oligocheate Pontodrilus bermudensis \nBeddard, is widely distributed in the tropical, \nsubtropical and warm tropical regions of the \nAtlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans. Its distribution \nextends to 45° N and 45° S of the equator with \nparticular abundance in the tropical and subtropical \nbelt. As a broodstock diet along with clam meat and \nsquid for penaeid shrimps and portunid crabs it has \npromoted repetitive maturation and spawning in \ncommercially important species such as Penaeus \nsemisulcatus, Fenneropenaeus indicus, Penaeus \nmonodon, Portutunus pelagicus and Scylla \ntranquebarica. Three successive experiments were \nconducted to identify the diet that supports
