Behavior of Exopalaemon carinicauda
脊尾白虾的行为学观察研究

This study described the behaviors of feeding, cannibalism, locomotion, molting, spacing, attacking and defence of Exopalaemon carinicauda cultured in high-density farming system. The results revealed that feeding behavior was active; locomotion behavior was diversiform; cannibalism behavior was obviously related to both of starvation and variability of the shrimp body size and the rate of cannibalism would increase with the increase of time separation of feeding and the increase of rearing density; the molting behavior was special, which occurred several times during a molting process; and spacing behavior was not obviously and the frequency of attacking was low.
