Abstract

Survival and growth of tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) at three salinity levels, 5, 10 and 15 g/L were investigated in potassium deficient natural inland saline water (PD-ISW) and potassium supplemented inland saline water (PS-ISW). Shrimps reared in PS-ISW survived well, whereas total mortality occurred in PD-ISW. The survival at 45 and 60 days at the salinities of 5, 10 and 15 g/L was assessed in PS-ISW. The supplementation of potassium showed significant effect on the survival rates at different salinities. Length-weight studies at different salinities and periods of time in PS-ISW showed significant differences in the linear component, but there was no significant difference in respect to interaction of salinity and rearing periods in a two-way ANOVA repeated measures. Growth parameters indicated that a salinity of 10 g/L was best for the survival and growth of shrimps in inland saline water of the site with potassium supplementation. Individual cations and ratios between other cations were found to be equally important for survival and growth. The results of the present study will be useful in utilizing degraded ISW sites for the culture of tiger shrimp.
