Effect of vitamin C derivatives on the performance of larval kuruma shrimp, Marsupenaeus japonicus

This study was conducted to determine the effect of two vitamin C (Ascorbic acid, AsA) sources; l-ascorbyl-2-monophosphate-Mg (AMP-Mg) and l-ascorbyl-2-monophosphate-Na/Ca (AMP-Na/Ca), on larval kuruma shrimp performance, i.e., percentage survival (%S), developmental stage (DS), the number of larvae...

Description
Summary:This study was conducted to determine the effect of two vitamin C (Ascorbic acid, AsA) sources; l-ascorbyl-2-monophosphate-Mg (AMP-Mg) and l-ascorbyl-2-monophosphate-Na/Ca (AMP-Na/Ca), on larval kuruma shrimp performance, i.e., percentage survival (%S), developmental stage (DS), the number of larvae metamorphosed to the postlarval stage (%PL), body weight (BW), total body length (TL), tolerance against formalin stress (LT 50), and whole body ascorbic acid concentration in shrimp (WBAA). Seven different levels of two vitamin C sources, 0, 23, 223, 695, 1034, 1819, and 2240 mg/kg diet for AMP-Mg and 0, 48, 198, 614, 1134, 1817, and 2494 mg/kg diet for AMP-Na/Ca were incorporated in kappa-carrageenan microbound diets (MBD), and each MBD was fed to five replicate groups of the larvae from zoea 1 stage up to postlarva 1 stage for 11 days. There were no differences between AMP-Mg and AMP-Na/Ca on %S, DS, BW, and TL under the similar AsA level. However, significant differences were found in %S, DS, %PL, and BW among the groups fed diets containing the different levels of AsA supplementation in both AMP-Mg and AMP-Na/Ca groups ( P
