“…Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is an essential nutrient for many species of lepidopteran larvae (Kramer et al, 1978). The importance of this chemical lies in its major role in regulating oxidative stress due to its reducing and free radical-scavenging abilities (Felton, 1995;Felton and Summers, 1993;Summers and Felton, 1994).…”

“…Encouraged by previous work (Chippendale 1975;Halver et al 1975;Kramer et al 1978;Murai et al 1978;Navon 1978;Tsujimura et al 1979Tsujimura et al , 1981Tsujimura et al , 1982Brandt et al 1985) indicating the nutritional acceptability of some vitamin C derivatives for different animal feeds, this study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of Mg-L-ascorbyl-2-phosphate (MAP) as a substitute for L-AsA in the diet of P. japonicus.…”

To overcome the lability of vitamin C (L‐ascorbic acid or L‐AsA), an essential nutrient of shrimp diets, the efficacy of Mg‐L‐ascorbyl‐2‐phosphate (MAP), a relatively stable derivative of L‐AsA, was examined. Groups of juvenile Penaeus japonicus were fed five different test diets containing different amounts of MAP for 100 days, to determine if MAP could be utilized by shrimp. Normal growth was observed on test groups fed diets containing 1,078, 430 and 215 mg MAP per kg, whereas mass mortality occurred in populations fed diets containing 43 and 0 mg MAP per kg. The dead shrimp found in the latter two treatments exhibited blackened lesions underneath the exoskeleton. The symptom looked similar to what was reported in previous papers as L‐AsA deficiency syndrome. The feeding experiment suggests that MAP can be utilized by P.japonicus as a suitable replacement for L‐AsA, and a supplement of 215 to 430 mg in 1 kg is sufficient to prevent clinical signs of vitamin C deficiency. Repeated measurements of remaining L‐AsA and MAP, made after diet processing and storage, demonstrated that MAP was significantly more stable than L‐AsA and was less prone to leaching in sea water.
