Advantages of pelleted feeds in terms of storage, transportation and lower costs compared to natural fresh feed justified the replacement of artificial feeds instead of natural ones partially on maturation performances. This study comprised nine treatments (with three replications) including control treatment: polychaete worm (Perinereis nuntia), Squid and calf liver (natural feed); T1: pellet ...

An 8-week feeding trial was conducted to evaluate effects of dietary organic zinc (zinc amino acid chelate) on growth performance, mineral bioaccumulation in whole body, hepatopancreas and carapace, innate immune response antioxidant capacity juvenile Pacific white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei. Five isonitrogenous isolipidic diets were formulated contain different levels 46.4 (basal diet), 65.5,...

Seafood consumption is in constant increase since 1960s. Though, there is diversity in seafood consumption worldwide (per capita/per year). The increase tendency of seafood consumption in the Europe can be predicted by the fact that average seafood intake among European population is around 7 kg/per year, while recommended amount is 14.5 kg.

 Post larvae of wild and cultured spawners of the Indian white shrimp (Penaeus indicus, Milne Edwards, 1837) were reared to market size, in commercial ponds of shrimp farming site of Helleh, in Bushehr Province, during a six months period. Environmental factors, management process and the diet used to feed shrimps were almost similar for both treatments. Averages of the weight, length, specific...

Probiotics can improve growth, survival and resistance to pathogenic organisms of the cultivated species in aquaculture systems with water recirculation. However, their possible benefits on biofloc systems have been less studied. In this study, the benefits of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens bacterium, on a biofloc culture of Litopenaeus vannamei were evaluated. B. amyloliquefaciens was applied as d...

The widespread use of antibiotics in veterinary practice and aquaculture has led to the increase of antimicrobial resistance in food-borne pathogens that may be transferred to humans. Global concern is reflected in the regulations from different agencies that have set maximum permitted residue limits on antibiotics in different food matrices of animal origin. Sensitive and selective methods are...

This paper reports on the statistical analysis of the 1995 survey of 451 shrimp farms in Thailand. The aim was to identify relationships which may indicate key issues for research into sustainability. Rigorous cleaning up of the data was carried out to eliminate cases where the data could not be validated or where a respondent consistently omitted data. In the subsequent analysis, nine key outc...
