Abstract

Not AvailableNutritional profile and quality of commercial post-larval (PL) feeds (n=9), zoea feeds (n=2), mysis feeds (n=2) and artemia cysts (n=2) of different brands used in Litopenaeus vannamei hatcheries located in Andhra Pradesh on the east coast of India were assessed. The moisture content of PL feeds ranged between 6.48 and 11.04%. Average protein and fat content of PL feed was distinctly lower than zoea feed, mysis feed and artemia. Saturated fatty acids (SFA) were lower than unsaturated fatty acids (USFA) in all the hatchery feeds. Palmitic acid-C16 (7.09%) and tricosylic acid-C23 (6.29%), were the dominant SFA; oleic acid-C18:1 (38.92%) was the predominant monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA); linolenic acid-C18:3 (9%) and docosahe...
