5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) is an endogenous non-protein amino that widely used in medicine, pharmacy products, agriculture, and aquaculture. ​In this study, the aim to investigate effects of 5-ALA on feeding Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) with a diet supplemented their growth performance, immune responses, resistance acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND) caused by Vibr...

The present study investigates the effects of different routes of inulin administration as prebiotic on gut microbiota and survival rate of Indian white shrimp post-larvae. Four hundred and fifty Indian white shrimp post-larvae (PL1) were stocked in nine tanks. The tanks were assigned into three treatments: feeding with inulin-treated (110 mg L-1) Artemia nauplii ...

This study investigated the contribution of shrimp stocks in supporting the production of valuable predator species. Fishery-independent data on white shrimp, brown shrimp, and selected fish species (spotted seatrout, red drum, and southern flounder) were collected from 1986 to 2014 by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, and converted to catch-per-unit effort (CPUE). Here, the associations...

In this study, the sensory, microbiological, and biochemical qualities were used to examine quality of Pacific white shrimps (Litopenaeus vannamei) preserved at 0°C during a 10-day period. The sensory was evaluated by index (QI) that resulted from method (QIM) scheme. Meanwhile, total viable count (TVC) K-value assess microbiological shrimp. On day 9, results TVC QIM have shown shrimp showed si...

Crustaceans are forced to fast during molting. Several physiological, metabolic and behavioral changes have been associated with starvation. Although some of these changes have been well studied, knowledge of the dynamics of fuel reserves during the molting process is limited. To understand the effects of short-term hunger stress on energy reserves, intermolt shrimpLitopenaeus vannameiwere star...
