Abstract :This study was conducted to determine optimum salinity for the larval growth, survival and development of Penaeus indicus. For this, PZI insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(protozoea 1); larvae were stocked in 2-L round bottom glass flasks in two replicates at 20, 25, 30 and 35 ppt salinities and were reared on live diets until PL insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(postlarvae); stages. Highest survival insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(91%); and greatest growth insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(6.48 mm); at postlarval stages insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(PLI/2); were obtained with the larvae cultured at 25 ppt insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(P
