Although nucleotides (NT) have long been implicated as feed attractants in both vertebrate and invertebrate species, research into potential growth and health benefits of dietary NT in aquaculture species has just been implemented in early 2000s. To date, research pertaining to NT supplementation...

A 60-day feeding trial was conducted to study the effect of partial replacement of fishmeal with palm kernel meal (PKM) on growth performance and oxidative stress of Malaysian prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii. A closed aquaculture system with 21 fibreglass tanks with the capacity of 150 liter was...

The high cost of cholesterol used in aquaculture diets for shrimp makes it important to precisely define their requirement for this essential nutrient in order to avoid excess supplementation of the diet. Two experiments were carried out to determine the cholesterol requirement of subadult (about 3 ...

A feeding trial was conducted to assess the effects of dietary Nannochloropsis sp. as powder or lipid on survival, growth performance and fatty acids content in Kuruma shrimp juvenile. Seven isonitrogenous, isolipidic and isocaloric diets were formulated to contain in first group graded levels of ...

This study evaluated the effects of chemically synthesized astaxanthin (Ax) on growth performance, survival, stress resistance, immune responses, fatty acid contents, and pigmentation of juvenile kuruma shrimp (Marsupenaeus japonicus). Six dietary levels of Ax (0, 200, 400, 800, 1200, and 1600 mg...

The objective of this experiment was to evaluate soya protein concentrate (SPC, 65% protein) as a replacement ingredient for fish meal (FM, 65% protein) in shrimp diets. Shrimps (Penaeus monodon, PL-15) were raised in the laboratory to 1.5 g body weight and were then transferred into 120-litre...

A 6-week feeding trial was conducted using six test diets to examine the effects of coated or non-coated methionine and/or lysine supplemented to soy protein (SPI)-based diet on the performance of juvenile kuruma shrimp, Marsupenaeus japonicus. Test diets were fed to triplicate groups of shrimp...

A feeding trial was designed to determine the appropriate dietary protein and lipid levels for spotted scat (Scatophagus argus) juvenile. The experiment was conducted in a recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) with factorial 4 x 3 treatments consisting of two factors. Diets were formulated with a...

A 45-day feeding experiment was conducted to examine two levels of dietary choline chloride (CC) [0.6 and 1.2 g kg^-1 CC] against control (0.0 g kg^-1 CC) on the biological, biochemical composition and stress tolerance of postlarval (PL-20) Marsupenaeus japonicus. The results showed improvements in...

Two trials were conducted to evaluate the effects of chemically synthesized astaxanthin (Ax) on growth performance, survival, and stress resistance in larval and post-larval kuruma shrimp (Marsupenaeus japonicus). Six dietary levels of Ax (0, 50, 100, 200, 400 and 800 mg/kg diet) were added to a...
