Abstract

Two studies were conducted to evaluate growth performance, feed utilization, survival and the economic production of white shrimp (P. vannamei) in Suez Canal region. The first study was conducted in Eldebba farm in western region of Port Said Governorate collaboration with a private fish farm. The second study was conducted in Suez Canal Fish Farm with an area of 1feddans. The pond was stocked with white shrimp (P. vannamei) at the rate of 70000 P26 /feddan in eldebba Port-Saied Governorate. In Suez Canal ponds stocked with 150000 P26/ feddan white shrimp (P. vannamei) with average initial 0.002g . A good quality (38% protein) commercial feed was provided. Growth performance, feed utilization , survival and comical evaluation was the best in Eldebba farm than Suez Canal farm.
It could be concluded that stocking white shrimp at density 70000/feddan was the best in terms of growth performance, feed utilization, survival and economic evaluation under this experimental conditions.
