Abstract: A 3×3 factorial experiment was conducted to determine the effects of density (361.20、722.40 and 1083.60 individuals/m2) and dietary carbohydrate levels (15.47%, 29.15% and 41.00%) on survival and growth of juvenile L. vannamei. The experiment lasted for 5 weeks. The results showed that at each density level, the survival rate and specific growth rate decreased while food coefficient increased with increasing dietary carbohydrate level; at each dietary carbohydrate level, the survival rate, specific growth rate, food consumption and food coefficient decreased with increasing density level.
