A shrimp Pacific White shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei growth performance study during summer (S) and monsoon (M) was taken up for 120 days. The stocking density was 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 and 80pc/m2 in six different treatments with three replicate. Experiment was conducted in 18 commercial culture pond having 0.5 ha size. The initial average body weight of shrimp post larvae during summer and monsoon crop at stocking was 0.06±0.01g and 0.06±0.04g, respectively. The data revealed significant (p
Pacific white shrimp is now scientifically named Penaeus vannamei and it's no more L.vannamei this is for kind information. The approved stocking by CAA in India for vannamei is 60/cubic meter. Hence, the stocking density can be more than 60 and below 100.
The stocking density for vannamei shrimp with an average weight of 2 grams in a PVC holding tank of 41 square meters will depend on several factors, including the water quality, feeding rate, and the overall health of the shrimp. It is generally recommended to maintain a stocking density of 15-20 shrimp per square meter for vannamei shrimp. However, it is important to monitor the water quality and the health of the shrimp closely, and to make adjustments as needed to ensure the well-being of the shrimp. It is also important to provide adequate aeration and filtration to maintain good water quality.
