- Abstract
Maturation diets for shrimp ideally comprise excellent digestible protein, essential fatty acids, and cholesterol and chemo-attractant properties which are found in natural food sources in the shrimp habitat. Fresh feeds typically including polychaete worms, mollusks and crustaceans have been extensively used for shrimp broodstock. However, their nutritional value can vary with species, season of harvest and life stage. Alternatively, compound diets have been formulated based on the nutritional profile of fresh feeds have being produced in a semi-moist diet and dried pellets. But, substitution of fresh feeds by compound diets is scarce due to lack of information on the quantitative dietary requirements of shrimp broodstock. For most Penaeus monodon hatcheries, good reproductive performance was obtained when shrimp broodstock were fed a mixture of fresh feeds and compound feeds.
