This study examined the effects of moist pellets containing fish oil supplemented with vitamin E on maturation and spawning of cultured giant tiger prawn, <I>Penaeus monodon</I>. At the end of 10 days, 7 out of 10 females fed the 3 % vitamin E-supplemented diet were undergoing ovarian maturation compared with only 2 out of 10 females fed the 0.8 % supplemented diet. The 3 % vitamin E supplementation also resulted in spawning with production of a large number of viable larvae. These data indicate that a moist pellet containing fish oil supplemented with vitamin E induces and accelerates maturation in captive prawns, and allows spawning with production of viable larvae.
