Currently, the yield of shrimp, especially pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei), has been steadily increased worldwide (FAO, 2020). In order to meet the yield demand, practices based on the increased stocking density and excessive overfeeding have become the most commonly poor management practices (Limsuwan, 2010), while these practices could result in the imbalance of nutrition and the degradation of culture environment, which not only increase the burden of hepatopancreas in shrimp but also increase the susceptibility of shrimp to diseases. Recently, adding functional supplements into feeds has been gradually developed into a general method to promote the health status of shrimp (Hoseinifar et al., 2016;Zhou et al., 2020). Specifically, owing to the simple biodegradation and relative safety, natural bioactive substances extracted from animals or plants are considered as significant functional supplements, which have a great application potential in aquaculture practice (Bu et al., 2020).Bile acids as endogenous molecules synthesized from cholesterol in vertebrates (Reschly et al., 2008) are regarded as pleiotropic mediators that regulate multiple physiological processes and mediate the utilization for different nutrients. From an evolutionary perspective,
