Abstract
ABSTRACTPond cultur̀e experiments were conducted with brown shrimp (Penaeus aztecus) and white shrimp (P. setiferus) in 0.1 ha ponds. All ponds were stocked with juvenile shrimp trawled from the Barataria Bay area. In 1969, there were several types of feed used; in 1970, stocking rates were varied; and in 1971, the feeding rate was varied. The shrimp were fed a specific percentage of their body weight daily. Feeding rates were calculated after a weekly sample of 50 shrimp was taken from each pond, weighed and returned to the pond alive. Results obtained from 44 experiments are compared and discussed. Production ranged from 104 to 931 kg/ha and feed conversion values ranged from 1.1 to 12.6. The heads‐on weight of recovered shrimp ranged from 4.4 to 16 g. Mortalities ranged from 1.6 to 100%.
