Crustaceans (eg, shrimp and crabs) are a good source of protein-rich foods for human
consumption. They are the second largest aquaculture species worldwide. Understanding …

Aquaculture is increasingly important for providing humans with high-quality animal protein
to improve growth, development and health. Farm-raised fish and shellfish now exceed …

Crustaceans exploit diverse habitats and face numerous environmental challenges. This
chapter reviews mechanisms by which crustaceans maintain energy homeostasis in the face …

The present study was designed to understand how carbohydrate (CBH) and protein
metabolism are related in the penaeid shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei. With this information …

Decapod crustacean welfare is not only an ethical consideration for legislative purposes.
Under culture and fishery settings, poor environmental conditions and operator practices …

In an attempt to know how the protein level modulates catabolism and its effects on the
immune response, we studied juvenile L. vannamei that had been starved for varying period …

Stress due to claw ablation was tested in Macrobrachium rosenbergii males. Dietary high
protein and vitamin C were supplemented for amelioration of stress. We used four different …

Marine organisms are exposed to hypoxia in natural ecosystems and during farming. In
these circumstances marine shrimp survive and synthesize ATP by anaerobic metabolism …

Glucose metabolism was extensively studied in Crustacea during the 60's and 70's with an
emphasis on decapods. In decapods juveniles can be described precisely at each step of …

The present study assessed the effect of different fasting times on the in vitro gluconeogenic
capacity of Chasmagnathus granulata crabs previously adapted to a high-protein (HP) or …
