In this research, the nutritional effects of Sargassum ilicifolium Chabahar Bay, Oman Sea, on cholesterol levels of white-leg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) were studied. The seaweed was collected from coastal areas, rinsed, dried, powdered and the nutritional values were measured in the laboratory. A part of protein resources of shrimp feed replaced with seaweed powder in four treatments (D: as...

Feed-food competition is the allocation of resources that can be used to feed humans animal instead, a current but unsustainable practise not well documented for aquaculture. Here, we analysed feed-food in aquaculture using two measures; natural trophic levels (TLs) and species-specific human-edible protein conversion ratios (HePCRs). The HePCR equals ratio human edible (input) produce (output)...

The fisheries sector is a that plays very important role in the economy of community Bireuen District, Aceh Province because it has great potential for development fishery areas. One businesses developing pond business, and Regency one regions consistently developed cultivation businesses, especially vannamei shrimp. However, there problem vanamei shrimp, namely price feed relatively high compa...

Abstract The advanced challenges from the vannamei shrimp cultivation nowadays keep on pushing fisheries industry improving its productivity, however, with minimum use of water resource and an efficient land. This research aims to discover growth survival rate that is cultivated in a circular tarpaulin pond microbubble aeration system. shows can increase amount dissolved oxygen (DO) within pond...

Feed is the most important thing in doing a tilapia fish farming. In feed required appropriate and balanced nutritional content so that growth becomes faster. Shrimp waste tarum leaves are an alternative raw material for manufacture of because they have fairly high protein content. The purpose this study was to examine comparative effect adding percentage leaf meal EM-4 fermented shrimp on wate...

A high density lipoprotein-beta glucan binding protein (HDL-BGBP) is synthesized in the hepatopancreas of the white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei and secreted to the hemolymph. Recently, we reported the HDL-BGBP full length cDNA sequence and found that the predicted polypeptide is larger than the mature protein and also, that it contains a long 5'- and 3'-UTRs that may be involved in transcript l...

A yeast culture feed supplement (Diamond V XP Yeast CultureR, Diamond V Mills, Cedar Rapids, Iowa [IA]) was assessed for its impact on disease resistance in the Pacific white shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei. Animals were fed a standard shrimp pellet diet supplemented with 0% (control with 1% grain carrier), 0.5% (with 0.5% carrier), or 1.0% XP daily for 4 weeks. To assess resistance to bacterial d...

Whiteleg shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei is one of the most commercially farmed species worldwide because of its fast growth, good survival rate at high farming densities, and osmoregulatory capacity, which makes it an excellent candidate for cultures at different salinities. The knowledge of shrimp nutritional requirements is critical in the formulation of diets to allow optimal growth at differe...
