Evaluation of growth, survival and body composition of larval white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) fed the combination of three types of algae

The larvae of the Pacific white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei are fed, from the stage of protozoea I until to protozoea III (PZ III), with microalgae. The survival rate, duration of the terms of Z I -Z III and total length of protozoea larvae (PZ) of L. vannamei were survived. The shrimp larvae fed with the six treatments of microalgae (Chaetoceros muelleri, Isochrysis galbana, Tetraselmis tetrathele, C. muelleri : I. galbana, C. muelleri: T. tetrathele and I. galbana: T. tetratheie). The biochemical composition (protein, carbohydrate, lipid and energy) of the algae and the larvae fed those algae were also measured. The largest sizes were recorded for larvae fed with the mixture C. muelleri and I. galbana (4.35 mm) and smaller sizes were observed on larvae fed with I. galbana (3.04 mm) (P \ 0.05). The larvae fed with mixture T. tetrathele and C. muelleri (88.42 %) and I. galbana and T. tetrathele (84.50 %) had the highest survival in experimental treatments. The lowest time for development was observed in larvae fed with mixture of T. tetrathele and C. muelleri (92.6 h). The larvae fed with mixture I. galbana and T. tetrathele had the highest protein and carbohydrate levels as compared with other treatments. Also highest lipid level and gross energy were shown in larvae fed with mixture C. muelleri and I. galbana (P \ 0.05). The results showed that L. vannamei larvae fed with C. muelleri and the mixed diets containing this species (C. muelleri ? Isochrysis sp., C. muelleri ? Tetraselmis sp.) had the highest growth and survival among treatments.

“…The variation in vitamin C contents found between cysts of different geographical origin (in the range 296-517 lg g -1 DW expressed as ascorbic acid), its conversion into free ascorbic acid during the hatching process, and the role of ascorbic sulfate as storage form has been studied in detail (Mead and Finnamore 1969;Merchie et al 1995). The nutritional quality of the A222 cysts and nauplii was lower than in the control, as shown by reduced fatty acid and vitamin C levels.…”

Hatching and nutritional quality of Artemia cysts progressively deteriorates as a function of increased exposure to hydration/dehydration cycles

et al. 2014

Nauplii hatching from Artemia cysts are crucial in larviculture nutrition. Artemia cysts may be exposed to repeated hydration/dehydration (H/D) cycles pre-harvesting or during processing and storage. To observe the effect of these cycles on cyst quality, Artemia franciscana cysts were exposed to a comprehensive set of various H/D treatments, differing in the number of cycles (1, 2, or 3) and the duration of the freshwater hydration period (2 or 4 h). Cyst quality was assessed using the criteria of immediate relevance for aquaculture use, such as hatching percentage directly after H/D treatment and after -18°C storage up to 1 month, longevity of axenically hatched starved nauplii, cyst and naupliar energy content, and (for the most extreme H/D treatment) cyst and naupliar fatty acid and vitamin C content. Repeated H/D cycles resulted in significantly (P \ 0.05) decreased cyst hatching, reduced starved naupliar longevity and individual energy content, loss in vitamin C and fatty acid content, and moreover a close correlation between these parameters as a function of progressive H/D treatments. This is of immediate relevance for aquaculture nutrition, as commercial Artemia cysts may have gone through an unknown sequence of H/D cycles in nature or in the processing line, which affects the nutritional quality of the nauplii used in larviculture operations.
