Abstract:The current study profiled the dual isotopes of carbon and nitrogen in feeds and muscles of farmed Penaeus monodon for evaluation of feed efficiency in making up the prawn muscle. Signatures of both feed and resulted muscles of P. monodon were subjected to two‐ and three‐source linear mixing models to elucidate the contribution of each feed item in the building of the muscle. The results revealed that carbon and nitrogen in different feed substances have different influences on the growth and nutrient uptake b… Show more
