Effects of Different Levels of Marine Snail Shells in the Diets of Juvenile Kuruma Shrimps Marsupenaeus japonicus as a Source of Calcium

Shells derived from marine mollusks represent over 80% of shellfish waste. Therefore, a 42‐d feeding trial was conducted to assess the effects of different levels of snail shells (SS) in the diets of kuruma shrimps Marsupenaeus japonicus as a source of calcium (Ca). An evaluation of the ability of SS to replace Ca was done by applying principles from a previously researched condition index to quantify the external characteristics of juvenile kuruma shrimps (initial body weight, 0.12 ± 0.01 g each [mean ± SD]) with relation to their growth performance. Five diets were formulated to include increasing levels of SS at 0, 2, 5, 10, and 0% (D1, D2, D3, D4, and D5, respectively); D1 was the positive control with Ca and no SS, and D5 was the negative control with no SS and no Ca included in the diet. Each diet was randomly allocated to triplicate groups of 15 shrimps per tank in a flow‐through system. Survival, body weight gain, specific growth rate, feed efficiency ratio, individual dry weight, total body length, condition index, freshwater stress resistance, and fatty acid composition were evaluated. Results indicated that shrimps fed 2% and 10% SS had significantly higher stress resistance than those fed the other diets (P < 0.05). Generally, dietary SS supplementation improved growth performances (such as final body weight, percent weight gain, specific growth rate, feed efficiency ratio), and the significantly highest performance was found in shrimps fed 10% SS (D4). Shrimps fed diets with ≤2% SS supplementation (D1, D2, and D5) had significantly lower condition index and hepatosomatic index. Under the present experimental conditions, using the condition index as a tool to evaluate the fitness of kuruma shrimps was beneficial; however, it was a poor indication of freshwater stress resistance. Instead, the ratio of n‐3:n‐6 in the shrimps’ bodies seemed to be correlated with stress resistance. Additionally, supplementing 10% SS in kuruma shrimp diets is recommended for better growth performance.

“…Sea shell is a proper source of calcium carbonate for feed application. It has been reported that calcium obtained from oyster shell [50,51] and mussel shell [52] has been widely used as a supplement in the poultry industry. Muir et al 1976, evaluated granular limestone, aragonite, oyster shell, clam shell and egg shell as feed supplement for laying hens and found clam shells to be a suitable calcium source for the hens [53].…”

Marine shell waste is a very rich source of several bioactive compounds and materials, such as calcium, chitin, pigments and proteins. Currently, this waste material is greatly underutilized and contributes to significant environmental problems due to off odour and concentration of minerals in landfill. The main objective of this review is to highlight the potential to value-add to and maximize the utilization of this waste stream. Therefore, this review provides up to date Downloaded by [University of California Santa Barbara] at 06:53 25 June 2016 ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 2information on various compounds available in marine shells that are generated as waste co-product from commercial processing operations and their potential uses. Methods are described for extraction of these compounds for use in food and pharmaceutical applications.

This review analyses how mussel farming can contribute to the challenge of feeding the current and future world population in a more efficient and sustainable way. The analysis lays a foundation of the main issues with current practices of animal protein production, and compares them with the alternative of a massive expansion of mussel farming as a means to produce high‐quality protein for human and animal nutrition. The review also covers the ecological goods and services that mussels provide to the ocean and to the atmosphere, the health of mussel products, and the many potential uses of by‐products from the mussel industry in agriculture, in wastewater treatment, and in the feed industry.
