This study aims to identify an effective carbon source which enhances not only the microbial load but also the shrimps growth. The carbon source cane sugar, molasses and jaggery were tested in 100 L culture tanks with stocking density of 30 mG 2 Peneus monodon seeds for a culture period of 40 days. Jaggery biofloc tank shows highest floc formation (22 mL), highest survival (86%) and highest ABW (6 g), proximate composition of jagerry biofloc had higher protein level (35%) followed by mollases and sugar culture tanks. It confirms jaggery is a new efficient carbon source for shrimp culture system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
