Abstract
This study was conducted to determine optimum salinity for the larval growth, survival and development of Penaeus indicus. For this, PZI (protozoea 1) larvae were stocked in 2-L round bottom glass flasks in two replicates at 20, 25, 30 and 35 ppt salinities and were reared on live diets until PL (postlarvae) stages. Highest survival (91%) and greatest growth (6.48 mm) at postlarval stages (PLI/2) were obtained with the larvae cultured at 25 ppt (P
