Providing a specific pathogen free (SPF) shrimps to the farmers is a big challenge that must be addressed to meet the demand. In general, microalgae are utilized in aquaculture as a live feed for the shrimps. However their importance in the attenuation of negative impacts of pathogenic microbial load, eutrophication and promotion of shrimps growth has to be delineated by experimental investigations to justify the above specific pathogen free shrimps. The present study was carried out to investigate the feeding of five different microalgae and algae enriched Artemia salina. Nauplii on digestive enzyme activity, growth, survival rate, microbial load on Penaeus monodon and Litopenaeus vannamei from Zoea to post larvae (20 stages) and other water quality. Microalgae such as Isochrysis galbana, Cheatoceros calcitrans, Tetraselmis sp, Chlorella sp and Nannochloropsis sp were obtained from A.. View More»
