Table 4: Mean final weight, specific growth rate (SGR) and growth parameters
(m and k), survival, feed conversion ration (FCR), natural stable isotope value
(δ15N) and estimated N half time (t50) in tissue of small shrimp (initial weight,
0.25 ± 0.10 g, δ15N=8.41 ± 0.1‰) L. vannamei reared for 28-days with formulated
feed (FF, Micropellets 40%), natural feed (NF) and 50:50 formulated+natural
feeds as zooplankton+bioflocs (δ15NNF=8.83 ± 0.54‰) (FF+NF) and
plankton+bioflocs+benthos (δ15NNF=8.13 ± 1.42‰) (FF+NF+S) (Trial 2). Relative
contribution of natural diet to the growth of specimens reared on FF+NF and
FF+NF+S treatments. Isotopic trophic enrichment (Δ15N=δ15Nshrimp–δ15NNF or FF)
was estimated in 2.0‰ for NF and 2.49‰ for FF. |
