Popis: Six semi-purified diets were formulated with supplemented phosphorus levels of 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5% at a fixed calcium level of 1.25% and the effect of dietary phosphorus on growth, FCR, body phosphorus and its excretion in shrimp Penaeus monodon was studied. The results of a 45 day feeding trial, in triplicate, on the juveniles of P. monodon (initial average live –weight 2.54 ±0.28g) had shown that phosphorus is indispensable in the diet and the best performance (147.3 and 154.5% increase in live-weight and 1.44 and 1.57 FCR) was recorded by the diet supplemented with 1.0 and 1.5% phosphorus which was significantly (P
