“…Recent investigations have focused mostly on production and nutrition of M . americanum juveniles (García‐Guerrero & Apún‐Molina, ; Méndez‐Martínez et al, , ; Pérez‐Rodríguez et al, ; Soberanes‐Yepiz et al, ; Yamasaki‐Granados et al, ). One of the main problems for the successful implementation of aquaculture of this river prawn is the typically low larval survival rate under culture conditions (Yamasaki‐Granados et al, ).…”

The effects of different diets on spermatophore production and sperm quality were investigated in the river prawn Macrobrachium americanum. River prawns were cultured and fed with three diets for 244 days: fresh food (50% squid meat, Dosidicus gigas and 50% sardine muscle, Sardinops sagax); commercial pellets (35 Purina®); and a 50:50 mixture of both diets. Spermatophore production was recorded every 24 days on average as the percentage of spermatophores produced per extraction per diet, weight and biochemical composition. Sperm quality was measured as the total number of sperm, the proportion of live/dead sperm and normal/abnormal sperm morphology. There were no significant differences in the mean biochemical composition of M. americanum spermatophores for any of the diets. Biochemical composition was 36.3% protein, 25.8% carbohydrate and 4.6% lipids for all data pooled. The weight of spermatophores and sperm counts was not significantly different among diets, nor were there any differences as a function of the male initial total length (p > .05). Male river prawn reproductive exhaustion was observed as a decline in spermatophore production, weight of the spermatophores and the number of sperm cells per spermatophore, with an increasing proportion of dead and abnormal sperm seen throughout the experiment. The recommended period of maintenance in captivity for male broodstock is less than 115 days. It is recommended to feed broodstock males of M. americanum with commercial pellets because no significant differences were detected with the diets tested; pellets are easier to use, ensuring the same spermatophore production and sperm quality that was obtained with fresh food.

“…Macrobrachium americanum larvae is a freshwater shrimp that can be affected by feeding on essential nutrients. Pérez-Rodríguez et al (2018) studied the impact of enriched artemia with microalgae on the progress of Macrobrachium americanum. They recommended providing artemia with Chaetoceros calcitrans microalgae as a feed source for Macrobrachium americanum larvae; thus, the growth, growth rates, and survivability are improved.…”

The increasing global population tends many sectors to overcome the food security issue; sustainable aquaculture is one of the systems that reveal the food problem in the world. The aquaculture industry is drastically increasing to offer the growing demand for this food type. The high mortalities threaten this sector during the first larval stages because of the low supplies of suitable feed for the fish larva. Artemia is vital for the aquaculture industry as it is the primary feed source for fish larvae; it is distinguished by its small size, food carrier characteristic, and off-the-shelf food feature. However, the principal source of artemia cysts has been affected by climate change, ultimately affecting artemia cyst production. Consequently, many areas worldwide try to produce artemia locally to satisfy the aquaculture rearing requirements. As a feed transmitter, artemia can be enriched with essential elements to feed the fish larvae; this method increases survivability, growth performance, and other growth indicators for many fish species. This review aimed to update the academia and stakeholders involved in artemia production in relation to the aquaculture industry. An updated overview of artemia production is also presented in the current review.

“…En este sentido, los juveniles de Artemia enriquecidos con carotenoides provenientes de microalgas, como los evaluados en el presente estudio, también pueden servir como alimento para peces ornamentales, como Xiphophorus maculatus, dado que suplementar su dieta con carotenoides mejora la coloración y la respuesta inmune de las mucosas (Abdollahi et al 2019). Además, Pérez-Rodríguez et al (2018) estudiaron los efectos de alimentar a larvas de M. americanum con una dieta de Artemia enriquecida con la microalga C. calcitrans, reportando que el crecimiento general, la tasa de crecimiento y la supervivencia mejoraron.…”

Microalgae are the primary source of food for Artemia franciscana. In turn, Artemia serve as live food for various species in culture. The chemical composition of Artemia is of great importance because it affects the nutritional quality of the organisms produced in aquaculture systems. For this reason, the present study aimed to characterize the nutritional value, proximal composition, concentration of chlorophyll a and b, and total carotenoid content in the microalgae Thalassiosira weissflogii, Chaetoceros muelleri, Tetraselmis suecica, and Nannochloropsis sp., which were used to feed juvenile A. franciscana for 6 h. Artemia juveniles fed with these microalgae species exhibited higher concentrations of proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, chlorophyll a and b, and total carotenoids than those in the control. The organisms fed with Tetraselmis suecica presented the highest content of chlorophyll b, while those fed with Thalassiosira weissflogii and Chaetoceros muelleri showed the highest values of total carotenoids and chlorophyll a.
