Mineral nutrition in penaeid shrimp

Abstract This review summarises the current knowledge of mineral nutrition for penaeid shrimp. It investigates how aquatic environment and lifecycle shrimp affect requirements role that minerals play in health. Methods supplying via either water or to feed, novel ways supplementing within are discussed. The individual summarised with recommendations minimum levels dietary inclusion semi‐intensive intensive commercial culture presented where data permits. Estimates requirement remain broad most main production species ( Penaeus vannamei , monodon japonicus ), some essential remaining unstudied (Table 2 Section 5.10). Mineral will become more important as intensification diversification systems provide new challenges aquaculture.
