Abstract. Honcada CA, Lemosnero JB, Namuag BP, Candole KP, Pedroso FL. 2025. Effect of fermented pineapple silage on growth and stress tolerance of Penaeus monodon post-larvae. Asian J Agric 9: 533-541. The incorporation of pineapple waste into animal feeds has been previously reported; however, its potential application in aquaculture remains underexplored. In particular, the use of liquid-fermented pineapple silage derived from industrial processing has not been documented. This study investigated the effects of liquid fermented pineapple silage (LFPS) and yeast-enriched LFPS (LFPS+Yeast), applied by spraying onto commercial feed, as alternative feed additives for post-larval tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon). Results demonstrated that the inclusion of LFPS+Yeast significantly improved weight gain (p < 0.05) in P. monodon post-larvae, with the highest mean weight gain observed in the LFPS+Yeast group (62.57?±?3.43?mg), followed by LFPS (53.37?±?5.63?mg), and the control (39.30?±?3.40?mg). A similar trend was observed in growth rate (GR) (p < 0.05). Although the specific growth rate (SGR) did not differ significantly among treatments (p > 0.05), the LFPS+Yeast group exhibited the highest SGR (11.30?±?0.52%), followed by LFPS (10.97?±?0.52%) and the control (9.84?±?0.35%). No significant differences were found in survival or stress tolerance; however, both LFPS+Yeast and LFPS treatments showed improved survival rates (80.00?±?1.40% and 73.11?±?2.50%, respectively) compared to the control (67.56?±?7.45%), as well as enhanced stress response. These findings suggest that LFPS and LFPS+Yeast have strong potential as sustainable feed additives in shrimp aquaculture, offering a means of waste valorization while promoting improved growth and resilience in P. monodon.
