Effect of dietary
C‐Phycocyanin
on growth, survival, haematology, immune response, gut microbiome and disease resistance of Pacific white shrimp,
Penaeus vannamei
Abstract:C‐Phycocyanin (CPC) was extracted from Arthrospira sp. and isolated from an estuarine ecosystem in southern India. A 45‐day feeding trial was conducted to unravel the effect of dietary CPC in Penaeus vannamei. Seven iso‐nitrogenous and iso‐energetic experimental diets were prepared with different levels of CPC at 0 (CPC0), 50 (CPC50), 100 (CPC100), 200 (CPC200), 400 (CPC400), 800 (CPC800) and 1600 (CPC1600) mg per kg diet. The results revealed that the survival percentages in CPC200, CPC400, CPC800 and CPC1600… Show more
