Microalgae for feeding of penaeid shrimp larvae: an overview

Aquaculture International Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

One of the most limiting factors regarding the production of shrimp juveniles is the feeding and nutrition of the larvae. Overall, in commercial larviculture of penaeid shrimp, feeding starts with live microalgae, and the supplementation of brine shrimp begins generally on the mysis stage. However, the search for practicality, cost reduction, and reduced vectorization of pathogens has led to the development of new types of diets that associate live and inert food. Even so, the use of microalgae remains essential for the shrimp’s larvae immune response, pigmentation, and zootechnical performance, in addition to maintaining water quality and bacterial control of the system. Therefore, numerous researches have been carried out to evaluate the productive performance of larvae and post-larvae of penaeid shrimp fed with processed microalgae in complementation to live microalgae. Thus, this review aims to present an overview of research related to feeding penaeid shrimp larvae with live and processed microalgae.
