Abstract
The nursery function of mangroves as shelter has been postulated to explain the positive correlation between shrimp catches and mangrove area. This study was undertaken to document shelter use and other activities in mangrove‐associated penaeids and to determine diel and size differences relating to these activities. Juvenile Metapenaeus ensis, Penaeus latisulcatus and P. merguiensis collected from mangrove areas in Guimaras, central Philippines and stocked individually in glass tanks (= replicates) provided with artificial shelters and sand substrate were observed every hour for 25 h. Size classes tested were very small (1–5.9 mm carapace length); small (6–10.9mm CL); medium (11–15.9mm CL); large (16–20.9mm CL); and very large (21–25.9 mm CL). Due to limited juvenile supply, only 3 sizes were tested for each species: P. merguiensis (very small to medium), M. ensis (small to large) and P. latisulcatus (medium to very large) with 5 replicate animals (one per tank) per size. Juvenile M. ensis and P. latisulcatus showed a strong diel periodicity of daytime burial and nocturnal activity. In contrast, P. merguiensis showed active swimming and feeding throughout the day and night. Very small to small P. merguiensis were observed on the shelters, but burying was exhibited only by a few medium‐sized juveniles. This shelter use is consistent with observations of small P. merguiensis entering the mangrove forest (where roots, twigs, etc. contribute to structural complexity) on the flood tide and concentrating in the shallow, turbid waters of adjoining creeks during ebb tide and slack water.

    Mineral requirements of Penaeids 

    Piedad-Pascual, F. (Institut Francais de Recherche pour l'Exploitation de la Mer, 1990)
    Marine shrimps absorb minerals from their aquatic environment aside from the minerals that come from the food they eat. Thus, the dietary requirement of shrimps for certain minerals will depend on the amounts and availability ...
