“…The total protease activity in hepatopancreas was greatly enhanced with the increasing DP level. Similar results have been obtained in marine shrimp ( Penaeus vannamei ) and red swamp crayfish ( Procambarus clarkii ) (Lee, Smith & Lawrence ; Xu, Liu, Shen, Wang, Zhu, Xu & Cheng ). The increase in protease activity as DP level increased may be due to the higher availability of dietary protein as substrate for protease activity (Giri, Sahoo, Sahu & Meher ).…”

“…In crustaceans species, some previous studies reported that the dietary lipid requirements range from 3% to 9% for E. sinensis (Qian & Zhu ; Qi et al . ), 7% for red swamp crayfish ( Procambarus clarkii ) (Xu, Liu, Shen, Li, Wang & Zhang ) and 6% dietary lipid level for mud crab ( Scylla paramamosain ) (Catacutan ). Therefore, from the previous studies, it is clear that crustacean species do not need higher dietary lipid levels (Sheen & Wu ; Huo et al .…”

This study aimed to determine the optimal protein to energy ratio (P/E ratio) and evaluate the effect of dietary protein and lipid levels on growth performance, body composition and digestive enzymes activities in Chinese mitten-handed crab, Eriocheir sinensis. Nine practical diets containing three levels both for protein (DP 30%, 35% and 40%) and lipid (DL 2%, 7% and 12%) with P/E ratios ranging from 13.69 to 19.79 mg KJ À1 were fed to four replicates of crabs (3.39 AE 0.10 g) for 10 weeks. Weight gain increased significantly with the increase in DP level at each DL level. Moreover, weight gain increased in crabs fed with diets containing DL level from 2% to 12% and DP level from 30% to 35%. However, the diet containing 40% DP and 12% DL levels significantly decreased the growth performance and protein efficiency of the crabs. The whole crab and hepatopancreas lipid contents also increased as dietary lipid increased, but not dietary protein. The total protease activity increased significantly with the increase in dietary protein at each lipid level. The lipase activity was statistically comparable among different DL levels at each DP level. Taken together, the crab fed the diet containing 35% protein and 12% lipid levels with P/E 15.77 mg KJ À1 revealed optimal growth, feed utilization efficiency and digestive enzymes activities. Moreover, our study indicated that the higher dietary lipid level at a relatively lower dietary protein level could provide protein sparing effect in Eriocheir sinensis.

“…Lipid content in the feed was, in accordance to the majority other crayfish studies, low (Xu et al 2013;Carmona-Osalde et al 2005;Ghiasvand et al 2012) and should be enhanced with the crayfish age (Ackefors et al 1992). Although higher lipid levels were stated , the feed and its lipid content was chosen in accordance to the natural nutrient for A. astacus supply stated by Hager (2003).…”

“…Protein contents for various crayfish diets (e.g., A. astacus, A. leptodacthylus, Procambarus clarkii) are stated between 25 and 30 % (Ackefors et al 1992;Valipour et al 2012;Xu et al 2013;Ghiasvand et al 2012). Considering the current results and the protein content (25 %) of the diet used, different feed ratios per group and the better SGR in the OPS, it might be necessary to reconsider the proposed protein content of crayfish feed in general and with respect to the crayfish age (Ackefors et al 1992).…”

“…Reported feed requirements for freshwater crayfish in general include a lipid content of about 10 %, and a protein content of between 25 and 30 % Xu et al 2013;Jover et al 1999), and these are also suggested for A. astacus (Ackefors et al 1992). Although there is no reported specification for A. astacus and no commercial feed available for the species, the basic nutritional requirements outlined above are supplied by various industrial carp feeds.…”

Growth performance of Noble Crayfish Astacus astacus in recirculating aquaculture systems

et al. 2014

There is growing interest in using recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) to raise noble crayfish Astacus astacus a valuable and once plentiful food species in Europe, now a highly endangered species. The growth and survival of A. astacus was compared in growth trials in RAS and open-pond systems (OPS) over a period of 2 months. Energy and lipid content of available diets and crayfish tissue were also determined. Growth of A. astacus during summer was significantly (p \ 0.01, one sample t test) higher in OPS (SGR 1.23) than in RAS even at the highest feeding ration provided at 5 % bw/d -1 (RAS HI SGR 0.78 ± 0.06). OPS crayfish also had significantly (p \ 0.01 OPS vs. all RAS treatments; Pairwise Wilcoxon) higher lipid content (8.51 %) than RAS crayfish (RAS HI 5.73 %, RAS MED 6.93 %, RAS LOW 5.92 %). Survival rates in RAS were, however, 100 % compared with previous observations in OPS of approx. 70 %. While results showed OPS growth exceeds than that in RAS in the short term, RAS survival rates and annualized growth performance may outweigh this disadvantage, particularly if optimal artificial diets for RAS holding are provided. Feed and crayfish analysis indicated that culturing A. astacus in RAS require a diet protein content exceeding 30 % and lipid content of \13 %, indicating that the carp diet supplied was not optimal. RAS culture allows this valuable species to be cultured in controlled, disease-free enclosed systems-resulting in high-value food products as well as high-quality seedlings for restocking purpose.
