“…Several polychaetes, including some from this genus (Perinereis) have been shown to contain these and other hormones that stimulate ovarian development in one of the more difficult penaeid species to breed, namely P. monodon (e.g. prostaglandin: Poltana et al, 2005; progesterone, 17a-hydroxyprogesterone: Meunpol et al, 2007Meunpol et al, , 2010methyl farnesoate: Laufer et al, 1997). However, the nutritional value and PUFA profile of polychaetes as well as other diets can vary with species, season of harvest, life stage, habitat, environment, and food chain of each polychaete (Luis and Passos, 1995;Meunpol et al, 2005;Chimsung, 2014).…”
