Growth potentials of pacific shrimp litopenaeus vannamei under different stocking densities with probiotics application

Litopenaeus vannamei is one of the most intensively cultivated shrimp all over the world including Asia and India. In the present investigation an attempt was made to study the effect of stocking densities on the growth potentials and subsequently production rates along with the usage of selected probiotics in the culture operation of Litopenaeus vannamei for 120 days. With the usage of different types of probiotics i.e. Soil, Water and Feed Probiotics, the growth potentials were enhanced and production rates were also significantly increased when compared to pond performance results obtained for ponds, which were cultured without probiotics. The growth potentials were more pronounced in the lower stocking densities compared to higher stocking densities.
