Abstract 

For 7 days Malaysian prawns (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) in 5 weight groups (5.65, 10.53, 16.64, 23.46 and 33.34 g) were reared in 16 glass aquaria (0.16 m) each with 2 prawns and given to appetite 1 of 4 diets based on fish, soyabean and maize meals containing 25% CP and DE 2.9 kcal/g without or with cassava meal 17, 34 or 51% replacing 0, 33.3, 66.7 and 100% of the maize meal. Mean voluntary intake of DM was 5.54, 4.41, 3.64, 2.61 and 1.84% of liveweight daily in the weight groups, respectively. Replacement of maize with cassava meal significantly affected intake only in the lower weight group which showed the highest intakes for diets with 34 and 51% cassava meal.
