Paper Summary

The researchers studied how different types of food affected the growth and survival of young freshwater prawns. They tested four diets: mixed zooplanktons, live chironomus, freeze-dried tubifex, and artificial feed. After 42 days, prawns fed live chironomus grew the most and had the highest survival rate compared to the other diets.
