Chemical composition of whiteleg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) cultivated from intensive farming and traditional farming at Bulukumba regency, South Sulawesi

Probiotics in Larvae and Juvenile Whiteleg Shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei

Apparent carbohydrate and lipid digestibility of feeds for whiteleg shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei (Decapoda: Penaeidae), cultivated at different salinities.

Whiteleg shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei is one of the most commercially farmed species worldwide because of its fast growth, good survival rate at high farming densities, and osmoregulatory capacity, which makes it an excellent candidate for cultures at different salinities. The knowledge of shrimp nutritional requirements is critical in the formulation of diets to allow optimal growth at differe...

Purification and characterization of an intracellular lipase from pleopods of whiteleg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei).

An intracellular lipase present in the whiteleg shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei was detected in pleopods. The lipase from pleopods was purified and characterized by biochemical and kinetic parameters. Purified intracellular lipase has a molecular mass of 196kDa, the polypeptide is assembled by two monomers, 95.26 and 63.36kDa. The enzyme lacks glycosylation, and it has an isoelectric point of 5.0. ...

changes in biochemical body composition of western whiteleg shrimp (litopenaeus vannamei) at different stages of growth

the study of changes the amount of protein, lipid, carbohydrates, fiber, ash and moisture of farmed litopenaeus vannamei at different stages of growth was performed. samples at the stages of post larvae 12, shrimp with 1, 2 and 3 months age, grow-out and market shrimp at the end of the period were provided from hatchery and breeding centers in khuzestan province. chemical composition w measured...

Analysis of multiple tissue-specific cDNA libraries from the Pacific whiteleg shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei.

Multiple small-scale transcriptome studies have been undertaken for various members of the Penaeidae. Penaeid shrimp are important both as members of diverse ecosystems around the world and for their importance as commercial commodities. Of the many shrimps, the most important from this family is the Pacific whiteleg shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei, as it is the primary shrimp used in worldwide aq...
