Abstract
The purpose of the present study is aimed to estimate the efficacy of commercially available probiotics on the growth and survival of Litopenaues vannamei. For this study we have selected three ponds. One is treated as control, Pond-A and Pond-B treated as experimental. The study was conducted in commercial shrimp farms which are located in Karlapalem village, Guntur district, Andhra Pradesh, India. The study was carried out over a period of 120 days. Optimal water quality levels were maintained during the study period. It is evident from the results in summer crop of year 2019 that the survival rate of 74%, 83% and 87% was recorded for control, pond-A and pond-B respectively. For winter crop the survival rate of 73%, 80% and 85% was recorded for control, pond-A and pond-B respectively. Similarly in summer crop of year 2020 that the survival rate of 82%, 88% and 93% was recorded for control, pond-A and pond-B respectively. For winter crop the survival rate of 78%, 81% and 89% was recorded for control, pond-A and pond-B respectively. Overall pond-B showed good performance than pond-A and control.
