“…As for some amino acids (Teshima et al, 1986), phospholipids (e.g., lecithin; Briggs et al, 1988), and sterols (Whitney, 1969), long-chain poly-unsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) cannot be synthesized de novo by crustaceans (Kanazawa et al, 1985). Among these, eicasopentaenoic (20:5n-3) and docosahexaenoic (22:6n-3) acid are particularly important for larval growth (e.g., Levine and Sulkin, 1984).…”

“…Fish and soybean oils, corn starch and a-cellulose were purchased from Liang Traco Ltd. (Malaysia). Cholesterol (Solvay Ltd., The Netherlands) was added at 0.5% in all diets to satisfy the reported requirements for M. rosenbergii (Briggs et al 1988). The proximate composition of the experimental diets was measured according to standard AOAC (1997) methods and values were generally similar among all diets (Table 1).…”

The use of short-chain organic acids in the diets of aquacultured animals as a prophylactic to bacterial pathogens is receiving increasing research and commercial interest. After giant freshwater prawns, Macrobrachium rosenbergii, were fed diets supplemented with formic (FA), citric (CA), lactic (LA), propionic acid (PA), an organic acid blend (OAB) at 1% or a control diet (no additives) for 6 weeks, the prawns were subjected to Vibrio harveyi challenge for 2 weeks. From all remaining prawns, the hepatopancreatic histopathology was examined. Results showed that the survival of prawns to V. harveyi challenge was significantly higher (P \ 0.05) when fed the LA diet, followed by the CA diet, than the other treatments. This was likely due to less bacterial-induced hepatopancreatic damage and higher energy reserves compared to those fed the other diets. This is the first report to compare the efficacy of different organic acids to a crustacean as well as showing hepatopancreatic protective properties to freshwater prawns when challenged with pathogenic bacteria. The present study indicated that dietary organic acids can be a viable alternative to the use of harmful antibiotics in the prawn farming industry.

“…However crustaceans only have a limited ability to biosynthesize PL de novo (Shieh 1969;Teshima and Kanazawa 1979;Kanazawa et al 1985), and supplementation of dietary PL therefore appears to be crucial for cultured crustacean species. Although many studies have been conducted on the PL requirements of larval and juvenile crustaceans, such as lobster Homarus americanus (Conklin et al 1980), penaeid shrimp (Chen et al 1993;Coutteau et al 1996;Paibulkichakul et al 1998;Thongrod and Boonyaratpulin 1998), freshwater prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii (Briggs et al 1988) and mitten crab E. sinensis (Cheng et al 1998a;Wang et al 2004), only limited studies have investigated the dietary PL requirement of crustacean broodstock. Millamena et al (1986) were the first to demonstrate that fecundity and survival rate of Penaeus monodon broodstock were positively affected by the inclusion of soybean lecithin into the diets.…”

The effect of increasing levels of dietary phospholipids (PL) on the ovarian development and reproductive performance of Chinese mitten crab Eriocheir sinensis were investigated using four semipurified formulated diets supplemented with 0%, 1.2%, 2.4%, and 3.6% PL. Four groups of 40 females, with an average individual body weight of 95-120 g, were fed the experimental diets for a period of 7 months. Male crabs were introduced into the female rearing system in March, and mating, spawning, and egg hatching occurred in the following month. After 10 weeks of feeding, females fed the diet with 2.4% PL had a significantly higher gonadosomatic index (GSI) than females fed the diet with 0% PL, whereas females fed the diet with 1.2% PL had a significantly higher hepatic moisture content and lower hepatic lipid content than the other groups (P \ 0.05). After mating, the spawning rate was higher among females fed diets with 3.6% and 2.4% PL (95% and 92%, respectively) compared with females fed diets with 0% and 1.2% PL (both 81%). The results showed that egg production (total number of eggs/female) and fecundity increased with increasing dietary PL level, with females fed diets with 0% and 1.2% PL supplementation having significantly lower values than females fed the diet with 3.6% PL (P \ 0.05). In conclusion, our results suggest that dietary PL supplementation has a positive effect on ovarian development and reproductive performance of E. sinensis broodstock. Further study should aim to investigate the optimal PL level in the broodstock diet of E. sinensis in respect to offspring quality.
