ABSTRACT This study examines the influence of feeding on digestive enzyme activities in the black tiger prawn, Penaeus monodon, using histological and biochemical techniques. Juvenile P. monodon (>50 mm total length) were sacrificed after feeding at sequential time intervals, with unfed controls also sacrificed at the same time intervals. Resin histology revealed that there were no morphological changes in the digestive gland F-cells between fed and unfed P. monodon over time. There were no significant changes in [alpha]-amylase specific activities in fed animals over time post ...
