 note = {Effects of the long (14h light, 10h dark; 14L10D) and short day-lengths (01L23D) were
investigated for the molting cycle and gonad development of the prawn Penaeus japonicus.
Individual rearings of 30 young prawns were carried out from April to July under each
photoperiod. During the 90 days rearing, the molting day and the carapace length of exuviae
were recorded individually. After the experiment, the days required for every molting cycle and
the gonadosomatic index (GSI) of each prawn were calculated. From a result of insignificant
differences of their GSI and the length of the molting cycle between both groups, it was
deduced that the molting and maturation mechanisms of the prawn would not be affected at its
young stage by the environmental photoperiod.},
