Triploid induction banan shrimp, Fenneropenaeus merguiensis (de Man, 1888) by using cold shock treatment [electronic resource]

Abstract

A study was done to determine the optimum parameter to produce monosex culture of postlarvae in banana shrimp, Fenneropenaeus merguiensis by producing triploid larvae using cold shock treatment. In addition also to identify the effect of triploidy in reproductive performance, survival rate, growth performance and sex ratio in F. merguiensis compared to it diploid (control) besides identifying the sex external characteristic of the postlarvae.
