Effects of feeding frequency on growth, feed conversion ratio, survival rate and water quality of white leg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei, Boone, 1931)

Abstract

This study is conducted to evaluate the effect of feeding frequency on growth, feed conversion ratio and survival rate of white leg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) post-larvae in 56 days. Final mean weights obtained for 2 and 4 times/day (6.73 ± 0.09 g and 6.98 ± 0.15 g, respectively) were significantly lower than treatment 6 times/day (8.56 ± 0.16 g) (P
