Most people still don’t know the difference between PL and DOC in shrimp farming. However, they are two different terms because both are often interpreted as referring to the shrimp’s age.

PL stands for Post Larva. This term indicates the shrimp fry’s age, generally in days. PL vannamei shrimp counts after the shrimp complete the mysis stage until it is ready to be stocked in the pond. For example, PL1 means the fry is only one day after completing the mysis stage.

After the PL (Post Larva) is stocked into the pond, the term to indicate the shrimp’s age is changed to DOC or Day of Culture. For example, DOC 30 means that the shrimp fry has been 30 days old since they were stocked into the pond. So, don’t be confused with the term both PL and DOC.
