The
external physical properties of shrimp feed have a huge variety, but their
necessity is questionable. Results of relevant trials have proven that juvenile
Penaeus monodon develop substantially better on pelleted starter feed than on
crumbled feed. There is no need to feed juvenile Macrobrachium rosenbergii with
two types of crumbled starter feed, because there is no difference between both
feeding systems. The length of the pellets (short or long) has no effect on the
growth of Panaeus monodon.
