In this study, the effects of GroBiotic®-A on growth performance, survival rate, and feed conversion ratios of green tiger shrimp were investigated. The commercial GroBiotic®-A was added to the commercial sea bass feed diet at 4 different levels (0, 0.5, 1, and 2%). Penaeus semisulcatus juvenile with an average weight of 1.65±0.08 g was stocked randomly in 0.785 m2 cylindrical tanks and grown for 45 days. The experiment consisted of four treatment groups, each with three replications. Although the survival rate and weight gain were found highest in the group with 2% GroBiotic®-A supplementation, no statistically significant difference was found (P>0.05) among the treatment groups. The feed conversion rate was best observed in the control and 2% GroBiotic®-A supplemented groups, but it was found to be statistically insignificant (P>0.05). According to the results of the current study, when the growth, survival rate and feed conversion ratios are taken into account, it is thought that adding 2% GroBiotic®-A to shrimp feeds will be beneficial.
