“…There have been many tentative explanations as to the reason for a better performance of shrimp with alternative meals. Among the most common are protein levels (Amaya, Davis, & Rouse, ; Sudaryono et al, ; Toyes‐Vargas et al, ), fatty acid composition, particularly 22:6n‐3 content (Browdy et al, ; Patnaik, Samocha, Davis, Bullis, & Browdy, ), carotenoids (Toyes‐Vargas et al, , ), cholesterol (Cheng & Hardy, ) phytosterol content (Basri, Shaleh, Matanjun, Noor, & Shapawi, ; Ju, Deng, & Dominy, ) and palatability or growth enhancers (Nunes, Sá, Andriola‐Neto, & Lemos, ; Tantikitti, ). In this study, shrimp fed the squid diet had a much higher growth rate than shrimp fed the control diet, with intermediate values for shrimp fed the scallop diet.…”
