At the end of the culture period, P. semisulcatus and M. japonicus reached to mean weights of 16.46 g and 7.05 g, respectively. Final yield and survival for P. semisulcatus were 1950 kg/ha and 79%, while these figures for M. japonicus were 655 kg/ha and 62%. The FCR was 2.42 for P. semisulcatus and 3.50 for M. japonicus. The result indicated that P. semisulcatus had better growth performance, final yields and survival rates.
