“…Tank colour was also shown to affect larval colour, survival and development in crabs (Rabbani & Zeng 2005). When exposed to constant light, the body colour of shrimp (Penaeus aztecus) faded and chromatophores lost their diurnal rhythm (Lakshmi et al 1976). Similarly, the body colour of P. monodon also became faint when cultured indoors under low light intensity less than 1000 lux (Tseng et al 1998).…”

Crustaceans are cultured extensively around the world in intensive farming systems. High‐performance formulated feeds have been developed for crustacean aquaculture, which are often supplemented with a number of natural and synthetic carotenoid sources. Studies over a number of years have consistently shown that dietary carotenoid supplementation is beneficial for crustacean aquaculture across a range of commercially relevant parameters. Most obvious is the effect on pigmentation, where carotenoid inclusion levels in feeds and duration of feeding diets with carotenoids have been optimised across many species to improve product colour, and subsequently quality and price. However, beneficial effects of carotenoid inclusion have increasingly been demonstrated on other parameters. This review updates the recent progress in our understanding of dietary carotenoid utilisation and storage, and the combined effects of diet, genetics and environment on crustacean pigmentation. In addition, the range of other physiological benefits this class of molecules brings to these animals is summarised. These include improvements in survival, growth, reproductive capacity, disease resistance and stress resistance.

“…When combined day-night and tidal cycles were observed, less activity occurred at expected day high tides than at night high tides. Temperature (Aldrich et al 1968, Reynolds & Casterlin 1979, Hill 1985 and salinity (Hughes 1969, Lakshmi et al 1976) also influence prawn behaviour and endogenous 24 h feeding rhythms have been found in laboratory conditions by Hughes (1968) and Kutty & Murugapoopathy (1968).…”

Activity patterns of Penaeus merguiensjs, P. esculentus and Metapenaeus endeavouri were studied in response to simulated tidal and day-night cycles in the laboratory. When these cycles were imposed separately, each species was more active at night and near the times of high tide. However, when the tidal and day-night cycles were imposed together, the relative strengths of the responses to the 2 factors differed among species. M. endeavouri was strongly influenced by the day-night cycle; virtually no activity occurred during the day but peaks of activity at night occurred near high tide. P. merguiensis and P. esculentus displayed some activity during the day with peaks around and just after high tide. However, for these 2 species, the peaks of activity near high tide at night were higher than the peaks during the day. All species were more active at night and, in the prawn's natural habitat, there is probably less risk of predation involved in being active at this time. Highest activity occurred near high tide and in the wild this is probably associated with feeding for all species. Decreased activity occurred at low tide, probably to avoid predation and, at times, dessication. The overall activity level of P. merguiensis was the highest of these species. The highest activity levels recorded for each species were similar but the lowest levels vaned markedly. M. endeavour; remained buried for many hours d u r~n g the day, whereas the lowest mean activity levels recorded for P. merguiensjs were relatively high compared with the other species.

Tidal, diurnal, lunar and seasonal cycles of catchability of juvenile Penaeus merguiensis, P. esculentus and Metapenaeus endeavouri were investigated in the Embley River in the Gulf of Carpentaria, Australia, over a full year. After seasonal effects were removed, catches of all species were found to be influenced by day-night and tidal cycles. P. merguiensis catches were primarily influenced by the tidal cycle and secondarily by the day-night cycle. The largest catches were usually on the last stage of the ebb tide which had the greater range of the 2 daily tides. When the 2 ebb tides were of equal amplitude more prawns were caught during the night tide. Catches of M. endeavouri were most strongly influenced by the day-night cycle; virtually no prawns were caught during the day. P. esculentus catches were least influenced by the tide and day-night cycles although, in general, more were caught at night and towards low tide. Tide and light cycles appear to affect the basic activity patterns of each of the 3 species in a similar manner, although the relative strengths of the responses are different for each species. All species were more active near high tide and catches were lowest at this time. Towards low tide, activity decreased and catches increased. However, when water levels were very low, P. esculentus and A4 endeavouri buried in the substrate and, therefore, were not catchable by trawling. In contrast, P. merguiensis did not bury, but concentrated near the shallow water's edge at low tide, and catches were highest then. All species were more active at night than during the day and catches were higher at night. The relationship between activity and catchability was different for the day-night and tidal cycles. Catchability with respect to day-night increased when the prawns were more active but catchability with respect to tide increased when the prawns were less active The results of the study are applicable to many areas in Australia and the Indo-West Pacific where similar habitats are used by juvenile penaeid prawns.
