dc.description.abstract	Feeding experiments were carried out with Metapenaeus monoceros using mangrove leaves at different stages of decomposition, in combination with rice bran. Maximum conversion efficiency was found in shrimps fed completely decomposed mangrove leaves. Differences in the conversion efficiency obtained in the shrimps were attributed to biochemical composition of the feeds which varied as decomposition process proceeded
