Abstract

A review of nutrient and energy requirements of different species and shrimp and prawns as derived from research investigations is presented. The information is divided into sections devoted to qualitative and quantitative macronutrient and micronutrient requirements with summaries in tabular form. The physiological value of certain nutrients for growth and reproduction is also presented. When possible, recommendations of dietary levels to include in feeds to satisfy requirements as well as ingredients as sources of those nutrients are presented. Effective approaches to satisfaction of nutrient requirements based on existing feed production technology and the contribution of nutrients from natural productivity in certain production systems are discussed.
