Because in the premolt stage L. stylirostris should produce glycogen to prepare chitin synthesis, the present paper was directed to answer the following questions: (a) Could an absence of dietary carbohydrates (CHO) enhance ...

We are reporting results directed to explain the relation between carbohydrates (CHO), protein metabolism, and the energetic balance of Litopenaeus vannamei juveniles. The interaction of dietary CHO and salinity was measured ...

Litopenaeus vannamei were reared in close cycle over seven generations and tested for their capacity to digest starch and to metabolise glucose at different stages of the moulting cycle. After acclimation with 42.3% of ...

The present study was designed to evaluate the effect of dietary protein level on survival, assimilation efficiency and immunological condition of Litopenaeus vannamei juveniles using two protein levels in a range of optimal ...

The present study was designed to determine the effect of dietary beta 1-3 glucan (BG) and a megadose of vitamin C on the nutrition (growth and survival, blood glucose, lactate, acylglycerides, cholesterol, hemocyanin [He], ...
