“…The higher survival observed in co-fed shrimp mysis and PL as compared to animals fed only Artemia is in agreement with studies reporting nutritional benefits when complementing live feed with inert diets and/or using additives to manipulate the nutritional composition of live feed, which improves the overall response of shrimp with respect to live food alone (Léger et al, 1985;Coutteau et al, 1997;Gallardo et al, 2002;Calderon et al, 2004). Brito et al (2004) also reported higher growth in L. vannamei and L. setiferus fed co-feeding regimes as compared to regimes consisting only in Artemia without microalgae. Some studies have reported good survival and complete larval development to PL 1 when shrimp are fed only on microalgae (Kuban et al, 1985;Rodriguez et al, 1994;Naranjo et al, 1999).…”

The nutritional contribution from co-fed Artemia nauplii and inert diets to growth in mysis and early postlarval shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei was assessed by analyzing the carbon stable isotope ratios (δ 13 C) in diets and shrimp tissue. Artemia nauplii and inert diets showed significantly different δ 13 C values but similar carbon contents and were supplied as single diets and also in three co-feeding regimes in which 25, 50 and 75% of the Artemia was replaced by inert diet on a dry weight basis, so that all feeding regimes provided similar amounts of dietary carbon. Shrimp δ 13 C values were significantly influenced by the different feeding regimes and reached isotopic equilibrium with their respective diets as soon as 5 days. Survival was significantly higher in co-fed animals than in those fed either Artemia or inert diet alone. There was no significant difference in growth between shrimp fed on Artemia only and those co-fed Artemia with inert diet, although the variability was high. Growth and survival were very low in shrimp fed only inert diet. Results from an isotope mixing model suggest that observed nutrient contributions from Artemia nauplii were significantly higher than expected contributions indicated by proportions established in the co-feeding regimes. Nutrient contributions to growth in the dietary regime providing equal carbon amounts of each diet type ranged from 77 to 86% for Artemia and from 13 to 24% for inert diet. Shrimp fed the 25% Artemia replacement regime exhibited a significantly higher retention of dietary carbon from the inert diet than those fed inert diet alone. This may have resulted from greater ingestion and/or assimilation of the inert diet in the presence of Artemia, combined with the higher growth rate in the co-feeding treatment. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of up to 50% replacement of Artemia with inert diet for L. vannamei mysis and early postlarval stages, indicating also that the inert diet may provide specific nutrients that promote survival, while digestibility may limit its contribution to tissue growth. The 3 influence of maternal and dietary sources on δ 13 C values in earlier larval stages was also described.

“…The presence of microalgae and its components, even at low concentration in the gut, can trigger the production of digestive enzymes (Reitan, Rainuzzo, Oie & Olsen, 1993;Sheele, 1993). It has been demonstrated that the consumption of the biota present in the farming systems improves the activity of digestive enzymes and physiological status of farmed aquatic animals (Brito, Chimal, Gelabert, Gaxiola & Rosas, 2004). Le Vay, Rodriguez, Kamarudin and Jones (1993) noticed that microalgae enhance trypsin activity in Japanese mitten lobster, Pariibacus japonicas, as they contain large amounts of free amino acids.…”

In the this study, we evaluated the effect of replacement of fish meal by a marine microalgae Spirulina platensis on growth, digestive enzyme activities, fatty acid composition and responses to ammonia and hypoxia stress in Pacific white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei (2.6 ± 0.2 g). Experimental diets contained S. platensis at 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% replacement levels. After 8 weeks of feeding trial, growth parameters and proximate body composition were not significantly different among treatments (p > .05). Amylase and lipase activities did not show any significant differences between control group and other experimental diets (p > .05), while activities of trypsin and chymotrypsin were significantly higher in shrimp fed diet with 50% substitution of microalgae compared to control group. Fatty acid contents, particularly polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) including arachidonic acid (ARA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), were significantly higher in control diet compared to other experimental diets. On the contrary, the majority of fatty acids including the contents of PUFAs in the whole body of L. vannamei fed with different levels of S. platensis were significantly higher compared to those of control group. After 48‐h exposure to ammonia, survival per cent was not statistically different between all groups (p > .05), but in hypoxia challenge, the survival per cent of control group was significantly less than that of treatments fed diets contained S. platensis (p < .05). Altogether, our results demonstrated the effectiveness of S. platensis as a reliable protein source for substitution of fish meal in shrimp aquaculture.

“…This could be very well contributed to the better nutritional profile. Brito et al (2004) also noticed that for the PL of Litopenaeus vannamei (Boone) and Litopenaeus setiferus a combination of Artemia, microparticulate commercial diet and algae was a better feed than Artemia or commercial diet alone. The best growth reported with all diet combination is also supported by significantly higher protein content in PL20.…”

In an effort to evaluate the usage of natural diets in nursery feeding of Fenneropenaeus indicus (H. Milne Edwards) postlarvae, different feeding regimes that included commercial diet, natural diets and microalgae were tried out. After 10 days feeding, growth rate, survival, protein content, muscle RNA and RNA: DNA ratio of postlarvae fed mixed diet were significantly higher (P<0.05). Artificial diet alone fed postlarvae registered lowest values and were significantly poorer than rest of the treatments (P<0.05). No significant difference among treatments could be detected in trypsin activity (P=0.388). Correlation analysis confirmed significant relationship between growth rate and RNA: DNA ratio of postlarvae (r=0.90, P<0.001). Two weeks long pond experiment exhibited strong relationship between RNA: DNA ratio of postlarvae prior to stocking and post-stocking survival (r=0.78, P<0.001). Results from study confirm that supplementation of natural diets in artificial diet regime with or without inclusion of microalgae will enhance growth. But, presence of microalgae further improved the results by offering nutrition and stability. Pond experiments suggest possible use of RNA: DNA ratio as 'survival probability indicator' in commercial shrimp culture
