Experiments were carried out to examine the effects of the different levels of oxygen, ammonia and hydrogen sulfide on survival, specific growth rate (SGR) and feed conversion ratio (FCR) of juvenile shrimp, Fenneropenaeus chinensis. Survival of the shrimp exposed to the hypoxia with $leq$2.5 mg/L dissolved oxygen for 24 days were significantly affected. SGR and FCR of the shrimp exposed to$leq$3.0 mg/L dissolved oxygen were significantly reduced than those of shrimp reared at 6.8 mg/L dissolved oxygen concentration. Survival of the shrimp exposed to $geq$2.0 mg/L of ammonia levels for 24 days was significantly affected. Moreover, compared to the control group significant decrease of SGR and FCR of the shrimp has been observed with $geq$1.0 mg/L and $geq$0.5 mg/L of ammonia concentrations. In case of hydrogen sulfide, $geq$0.5 mg/L was the critical level showed its significant negative effect on survival rate of shrimp exposed for 24 days. While, the group exposed with $geq$0.07 mg/L and $geq$0.05 mg/L hydrogen sulfide levels had a lower SGR and FCR values than did the control group in the same stipulated time of exposure.
