Effect of a diet lacking in vitamin and mineral supplements on the growth and survival of Penaeus monodon juveniles in a modified extensive culture system
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1996)
Penaeus monodon juveniles (mean weight, 0.006 g) were reared in 330 m earthen ponds for 120 days at a stocking density of 7.5/m2 under conditions of the modified extensive system of culturing shrimps. The shrimps were fed ...
Nutritional requirements of commercially important shrimps in the tropics
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1996)
The culture of tropical shrimps has gained greater economic importance particularly among Southeast Asian countries. As shrimp fanning moves from low-input, low-technology operation to the intensive and even highly intensive ...
Reproductive performance of captive Penaeus monodon fed various sources of carotenoids
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1996)
Three groups of pond-reared Penaeus monodon broodstock were fed formulated diet in combination with carotenoid-containing natural food: mussel + shrimp broodstock pellet (MBP), crab + BP (CBP), and Artemia + BP (ABP). After ...
Use of the golden apple snail, cassava, and maize as feeds for the tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon in ponds
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1996)
Penaeus monodon stocked in ponds at 8,000/ha were fed four types of farm-made feeds starting on day 16 of a 4-month culture period. The feeds were golden apple snail alone or in combination with cooked cassava or maize, ...
Kappaphycus and Gracilariopsis meal as binders for diets of tiger shrimp
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1996)
Two locally grown seaweeds, Kappaphycus alvarezii and Gracilaria heteroclada, were tested as binders in diets for shrimp juveniles to minimize the use of wheat flour, a common binder. The seaweeds were washed, dried, ground, ...
L-ascorbyl-2-phosphate Mg as vitamin C source for juvenile Penaeus monodon
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1996)
Phosphated ascorbic acid (magnesium L-ascorbyl-2-phosphate or MAP) is a stable form of vitamin C. The suitability and growth requirement level of this derivative in practical diet was determined for juvenile Penaeus monodon. ...
A preliminary study on the effect of hypoxia on carotenoid metabolism in black tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon Fabricius
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1996)
The pigmentation of black tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon is due to astaxanthin, astaxanthin monoester, and astaxanthin diester. These carotenoids are biosynthesized from beta-carotene or zeaxanthin. Biosynthesis is postulated ...
Review of SEAFDEC/AQD fish nutrition and feed development research
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1996)
Research on fish nutrition and feed development at SEAFDEC Aquaculture Department has focused on three major areas: nutrient requirements and their interrelationships, digestive enzymes and digestibility, and practical ...
Effect of dietary astaxanthin and vitamin A on the reproductive performance of Penaeus monodon broodstock
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1996)
Reproductive performance of pond-reared tiger shrimp given astaxanthin (100 mg/kg diet) and Vitamin A (20,000 IU) for 61 days was assessed in a 2x2 factorial experiment in a completely randomized design. Mean gonad index ...
