Popis: The present study was carried out to obtain the performance of booster doses of immunostimulants given through different routes. Postlarvae of tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon (PL30) were immunostimulated via immersion and oral routes using heat-killed Vibrio anguillarum. Bath (106 CFU/ml for 1 h), bath and in-feed (initially immersed in 106 CFU/ml for 1 h followed by two feedings with 105 CFU/feeding), and in-feed alone were used as the routes of immunostimulation. A booster dose was given in each of the treatment groups at 20 days postpriming (dpp). Growth and survival were studied following priming and booster until 60 dpp. The survival of shrimps in bath + feed treatment was significantly (P
