“…Indeed, it has been demonstrated that broodstock conditioning has a great influence on reproductive performance and larval quality (Racotta et al 2003). Therefore probiotic effects, especially at the nutritional level, could have beneficial consequences on reproductive performance of broodstock animals and larval quality, as previously reported with other feed supplements (Paibulkichakul et al 2008).…”

Crustacean aquaculture, and more specifically shrimp culture, faces several challenges in order to increase production yield while maintaining sustainability. The various disease outbreaks that have been continuously affecting the sector for almost two decades, together with the increasing demand for environmentally friendly aquaculture and the pressure from customers for safe and traceable products, are fundamentally modifying the culture practices of shrimp and other crustacean species. It is today well accepted that these challenges can only be faced through the development of better management practices together with technical innovations. Among the solutions currently considered, those relying on nutrition and intestinal health management can play a critical role. The application of probiotics in aquaculture has been developed in this context and is now widely applied in crustacean aquaculture as a complementary tool for management of disease. This development is mostly driven by practical and empirical approaches in shrimp farming; however, specific in-depth studies related to the biological effects and mechanisms of action of probiotics in crustaceans are gaining more importance. This chapter presents a review of the research conducted on probiotic applications in crustacean species with special emphasis on the modes of action investigated so far and the main benefits derived from it. The limits and future perspectives are also addressed.

“…Feeding extremely high levels (200-300 mg kg -1 ) of dietary carotenoids has been shown to improve P. monodon resistance to a range of physiological stressors, such as improved resistance to salinity (Darachai et al, 1998), dissolved oxygen , Supamattaya et al, 2005, temperature (Chien et al, 2003) or disease challenge (Supamattaya et al, 2005). Extremely high levels of dietary Axn (500 mg kg -1 ) also led to an accumulation of Axn along with long chain PUFAs in P. monodon ovary tissue, with complementary improvements in reproductive performance (Paibulkichakul et al, 2008). This study has identified specific carotenoid fatty acid esters that accumulate in tissues of P. monodon that may underlie these positive effects of dietary carotenoids.…”

The predominant carotenoid in prawn tissues is astaxanthin (Axn) and its role in pigmentation has been well studied. However, the effects of dietary Axn on other prawn physiological performance measures are uncertain and dietary carotenoid uptake and tissue deposition are poorly understood. This study fed juvenile prawns (Penaeus monodon) diets that contained 0, 25, 50 or 100 mg kg -1 Axn for 6 weeks. Animals fed carotenoid free diets had significantly reduced growth than those fed carotenoids, but survival was unaffected. Carotenoid uptake (digestibility) improved as dietary carotenoid levels increased, and was 98.5% in animals fed 100 mg kg -1 Axn. After 6 weeks, whole body carotenoid levels were significantly depleted in 0 or 25 mg kg -1 fed animals, compared with those fed 50 or 100 mg kg -1 . Specific fatty acid esters of Axn accumulated in epithelial tissue, with mono-esters enriched saturated fatty acids, while di-esters were enriched with monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids. These data suggest a minimum dietary requirement of 25 mg kg -1 Axn in clear water systems to maintain growth performance, and 50 mg kg -1 or more to avoid depletion of body carotenoid levels and improve efficiency of utilisation. These results also implicate specific fatty acids in the function of carotenoid esters within prawn tissues.

“…Moreover, several literatures have suggested that a suitable maturation feed to enhance sperm quality and induce sperm maturation might need to include enriched protein, lipid, PUFA and supplement nutrients (vitamins, minerals, and/or astaxanthin) or properly ration of several live feeds (Coman et al, 2007;Meunpol et al, 2005;Naessens et al, 1997;Paibulkichakul et al, 2008;Perez-Velazquez et al, 2002;Perez-Velazquez et al, 2003).…”
