Effect of Different Dietary Lipid Levels on Growth, Feed Utilization, and Health Status of the Pacific White Shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei at Two Salinity Levels
The present experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of five different lipid levels (6,8,10, 12 and 14%) under two different levels of salinity (15 and 30ppt) on growth performance, feed utilization, survival, and economic evaluation of the white leg shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei post-larvae. The experiment was carried out in 20 rectangular tanks (66x47x44cm, 50L), with water salinity of 15 and 30ppt over a period of 90 days. Each treatment had 3 replicates; each tank contained 30 post-larvae with an initial body weight of 0.02± 0.001g. The shrimp samples were fed with the experimental diets containing 35% crude protein twice daily till satiation. Moreover, the growth performance of shrimp was recorded biweekly. The best treatment, which contained 6% lipid and salinity of 30ppt, showed the best results in terms of growth performance, feed utilization, survival (%), and economic evaluation under these experimental condition.
