Abstract

One of the important requirements in intensive shrimp culture is proper formulated feed for shrimp at different stages of growth. The feeds should contain adequate levels of essential nutrients to provide maximum growth, survival and best conversion efficiencies. In the effective utilisation of the nutrients, digestive enzymes play a vital role. Therefore, studies on digestive enzymes would greatly help in rationally adjusting the quality and quantity of feed supplied to shrimp during different stages in their life cycle. Studies on digestive enzyme activities have been restricted to larval stage among crustaceans like artemia (B ellini, 1957), Palaem on serra tes (van Wormhoudt, 1973), Penaeus japonicus (Laubier, el. al., 1977) and Macrobrachium rosenbergii (vanWormhoudt, 1981). Literature on the enzyme activity in the postlarval stages of crustaceans is scanty. Hence, studies were carried out on the activity pattern of digestive enzymes in post-larvae, juveniles and adult groups of Penaeus indicus.
