Growth response and fatty acid composition of juvenile Penaeus vannamei fed different sources of dietary lipid

Chemical and nutritional characterisation of the Central Mediterranean Giant red shrimp (Aristaeomorpha foliacea): Influence of trophic and geographical factors on flesh quality

“…In particular, the ash values appeared to be inversely related to the size of the shrimps and was significantly different between sex and GSA. This result was also found in white shrimp (Lim, Ako, Brown, & Hahn, 1997). The GE content ranged from 20.8 to 22.0 MJ kg -1 DM and differed according to sex and GSA.…”

“…The EPA content found in the present research was similar to that reported by Huang, Wang, Lu, Dai, and Zhou (2004) for farmed white shrimp (Penaeus vannamei), a value which ranged from 11.5 to 13.7 g 100 g -1 FA, whilst the DHA content, which ranged from 8.9 to 10.4 g 100 g -1 FA, was lower than that of our data. In another study, the EPA and DHA contents of juvenile Penaeus vannanei were 16.6 and 13.6 g 100 g -1 FA, respectively (Lim et al, 1997) and this study indicated that menhaden oil rich in n3 PUFA was better utilised by Penaeus vannanei than the plant oil sources that were evaluated. Rosa and Nunes (2004) found EPA contents which ranged from 14.6 to 14.9 g 100 g -1 FA and from 14.0 to 14.8 g 100 g -1 FA in red shrimp (Aristeus antennatus) and pink shrimp (Parapenaeus longirostris), respectively.…”

“…Higher values of CF content were also found in pond cultured shrimp Penaeus monodon (6.3 g 100 g -1 DM) and Penaeus vannamei (5.7 g 100 g -1 DM) as reported by Sriket, Benjakul, Visessanguan, and Kijroongrojana (2007 (Ouraji et al, 2009), but also in the muscle of whiteleg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) fed diets supplemented with two species of marine algae (Ju, Forster, & Dominy, 2009). Dietary lipids have been found to affect the fatty acid composition of Penaeus vannamei.Whole body shrimps have been found to be higher in MUFA and PUFA when fed safflower, corn, soybean, linseed or menhaden oil diets which contained high levels of unsaturated fatty acids, whilst shrimps fed stearic acid or coconut oil diets, which are high in saturated fatty acids (SFA), were lower in MUFA and PUFA (Lim et al, 1997). Amongst the most valuable FAs, EPA and DHA play important roles in the prevention of inflammatory and cardiovascular diseases due to their serum triglycerides-lowering effects.…”

Lipid composition and fatty acid profiles of wild caught and fattened mud crab, <i>Scylla serrata</i>, in Sri Lanka

“…The reason behind might be the differences in naturally available food sources and feed used in the fattening practices (fish offal, skates, clams, etc.). It was evident from the previous studies that the crustacean fatty acid profiles are influenced by the changes in the nutritional composition of the diet and by changes in the dietary sources (O'leary and Mathews 1990;D'Abramo and Sheen 1993;Deering et al 1997;Lim et al 1997;Sheen and Wu 1999). The fatty acid profile discrimination of the crabs from two water bodies might be due to variations in available food sources, physiochemical parameters such as salinity, temperature, etc.…”

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

“…It has been suggested that optimal productivity can be achieved by balanced fatty acids, but is often specific to each species [10]. In particular, the n-3 to n-6 fatty acid ratio has been demonstrated to greatly influence the growth of other shrimps, including the kuruma shrimp Marsupenaues japonicus [11], white-leg shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei [12,13], and black tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon [14].…”
