Growth increment (mean±SE) of shrimps during the <i>Growth period</i> of Experiment 1 and Experiment 2.

<p><i>Neocaridina heteropoda heteropoda</i> juveniles were reared at three different water temperatures (24, 28 or 32°C) over a 90-day period and the growth increment was calculated from day 0 to day 30 (A), from day 30 to day 60 (B), and from day 60 to day 90 (C). Different letters indicate statistically significant differences among treatments for each experiment (<i>P</i> < 0.05). In both experiments, the growth increment of shrimps maintained at 24°C was lower than that of shrimps maintained at 28 and 32°C at day 30, but this was reversed on subsequent days.
