 note = {The feeding experiments were conducted to examine the requirements of the juvenile prawn Penaeus
japonicus BATE for the minerals such as Ca, P, Mg, K, Cu, Mn, and Fe. The dietary value of these
minerals for the prawns was evaluated in terms of weight gain, feed conversion, survival rate, and
molting frequency. Growth of the prawns was improved by the supplement of 1~2% P to the diets,
however such an effect of P was affected by dietary Ca levels. The best growth of the prawns was
found with the diets supplemented with 1~2% levels of Ca and P at the Ca/P ratio of 1:1. Growth
of the prawns was also improved by the supplements of Mg (0.1~0.5%) and K (0.9 and 1.8%),
but not by those of Cu (0.06 and 0.12%), Mn (0.01~0.1%), and Fe (0.006~0.012%). These results
show that P.japonicus juveniles require dietary sources of P (1~2%), Ca (1~2%), Mg (0.3%),
and K (0.9%), but possibly not Fe, Cu, and Mn for normal growth.},
