Nutritional value of five marine phytoplankton species isolated from Philippine water as food for the larvae of Penaeus monodon
Share
Abstract
Feeding experiments were conducted to test the nutritional value of five marine phytoplankton species namely: Chaetoceros calcitrans, Tetrasemis sp., Dunaliella sp., Nannochloris sp. and Chlorella sp. isolated from panay , Philippines to the larvae of Penaeus monodon from nauplius to Mysis.
Proximate analyses and determination fatty acid composition were made on the larvae were directly related to the level of Polyunsaturated fatty acids in the legal diets.
Best results were obtained with Chaetoceros calcitrans, Tetraselmis sp. and Dunaliella sp as food.

Mineral requirements of Penaeids
(Institut Francais de Recherche pour l'Exploitation de la Mer, 1990)Marine shrimps absorb minerals from their aquatic environment aside from the minerals that come from the food they eat. Thus, the dietary requirement of shrimps for certain minerals will depend on the amounts and availability ... -
