“…In feeding trial 2, where U. lactuca produced by bioremediation was evaluated as feed ingredient, shrimp growth was improved when fed 3% U. lactuca meal in feed. Rodríguez-González et al (2014) suggest that the limiting inclusion level for U. lactuca meal in shrimp feed should not exceed 5%, showing that levels of 10 and 15% reduced significantly shrimp growth compared to a control diet without U. lactuca inclusion. Serrano Jr, Santizo & Tumbokon (2015) also experimented with 15 and 30% U. lactuca meal inclusion in P. monodon shrimp, finding no growth improvement at the lower inclusion level and significant reduction of shrimp growth at the higher inclusion level.…”

“…In some cases, shrimp composition is modified when fed seaweeds, these changes may include lipid content and carotenoids ( Cruz-Suárez et al, 2010 ; Subhra Bikash, 2015 ), or total cholesterol ( Casas-Valdez et al, 2006 ). The optimal level of inclusion of seaweed meal in shrimp feed varies among seaweed species, but, in most cases, studies have found benefits when included not higher than 5% ( Cruz-Suárez et al, 2009 ; Rodríguez-González et al, 2014 ; Cárdenas et al, 2015 ; Yu et al, 2016 ; Schleder et al, 2017 ).…”

Two experimental feeding trials were conducted during four weeks to evaluate the use of Ulva lactuca in shrimp culture: (1) for wastewater bioremediation, and (2) using different inclusion levels of U. lactuca meal in shrimp feed. In feeding trial 1, shrimp reared under seaweed U. lactuca water exchange in a re-circulation system (SWE) resulted in similar growth and feed utilization as shrimp reared with clean water exchange (CWE). Shrimp under no water exchange (NWE) resulted in significant lower growth and higher feed conversion rate (FCR) compared to the other treatments (p < 0.05). Nitrogen compounds and phosphate in water from SWE and CWE treatments did not present significant differences during the experimental trial (p > 0.05). In feeding trial 2, U. lactuca biomass produced by wastewater bioremediation in SWE treatment were dried and ground to formulate diets containing 0, 1, 2, and 3% U. lactuca meal (0UL, 1UL, 2UL, and 3UL). Shrimp fed the 3 UL diet resulted in a significant (p < 0.05) improvement of growth and FCR, and enhanced whole shrimp lipid and carotenoid content by 30 and 60%, respectively, compared to control diet. Seaweed U. lactuca is suggested as a desirable species for wastewater bioremediation in integrated aquaculture systems, and its meal as a good feed additive for farmed shrimp.

Reviews in Aquaculture

Shrimps are one of the most important cultures in aquaculture with an estimated production of around 4.5 million MT, that is constantly growing. This fact entails the necessity to increase aquafeed production to meet demand. As in other aquaculture species, fishmeal (FM) is the main protein source used in shrimp feeding. In this context, the current review summarises several innovative protein sources for shrimp nutrition, focusing primarily on those sources that are less commercialised including fishery by‐products, terrestrial animal by‐products, single‐cell proteins, grain legumes, plant protein concentrates and cereal by‐products, with emphasis placed on novel raw materials in experimental phase: algae, insect meal or biofloc. Nutritive values, inclusion levels and constraints are discussed.

“…Some studies have reported the growth levels of shrimp fed with diets containing macroalgae meal. Rodríguez-González et al (2014) evaluated Ulva lactuca and Gracilaria parvispora meals, and they concluded that both macroalgae may be used as a source of protein in balanced diets for shrimp. However, except for a study that evaluated the crude nutrient digestibility of the macroalgae Macrocystis pyrifera and Sargassum sp.…”

ABSTRACT. The antioxidant activity of meals, growth performance, dry matter, crude protein and amino acid apparent digestibility coefficients (ADC) were determined for three macroalgae in Pacific white shrimp juveniles: Gracilaria vermiculophylla, Dictyota dichotoma and Ulva lactuca. For the digestibility determination, test diets included 15% of the test ingredients and 85% of a control diet supplemented with 1% chromic oxide. The amino acid content in the ingredients, diets and feces were analyzed using HPLC. In general, nutrient digestibility values were far higher in the diets with macroalgae meals than in the control diet. In conclusion, diets with the macroalgae U. lactuca and G. vermiculophylla in particular showed high antioxidant activity, high amino acid digestibility and improved Litopenaeus vannamei growth.
