Abstract:In an 8-week trial, the effects of feed processing types (extruded vs. steamed pellets) and protein source (soya/pea vs. fish meal) onLitopenaeus vannameiwere studied under 30 ppt (first 30 days) and 5 ppt (last 15 days) salinity conditions. Diets included D1-SE soya/pea extruded, D2-SS soya/pea steamed, D3-FE fishmeal extruded, and D4 (FS) fishmeal steamed pellets. No significant weight differences were observed. Survival rates (80-97% at 30 ppt) decreased at reduced salinity and were significantly higher for… Show more
