Effects of a Total Dietary Fish Oil Replacement with Vegetable Oils to the Survival, Growth and Development of the Blue Swimming Crab Portunus Pelagicus Early Juveniles
Abstract:The feasibility of different vegetable based lipids as a complete replacement to dietary fish oil (FO) to blue swimmer crab Portunus pelagicus juveniles was assessed. A total of five iso-nitrogenous and iso-lipidic diets were formulated to contain FO, soybean oil (SBO), linseed oil (LSO), canola oil (CO), or palm oil (PO) as the main lipid source. The diets were fed to first staged juvenile crabs (total of 45 replicate crabs/treatment) over at least four molts. After 35 days, final sizes and weights were deter… Show more
