Synbiotics, a conjunction between prebiotics and probiotics, have been used in aquaculture
for over 10 years. However, the mechanisms of how synbiotics work as growth and immunity …

In this paper, we review the current knowledge about the usage of carbohydrates, lipids and
proteins as energy source by marine crustaceans during starvation. Crustaceans are a large …

Molting is one of the most important biological processes in shrimp growth and
development. All shrimp undergo cyclic molting periodically to shed and replace their …

Background Crustacean moulting is a complex process involving many regulatory pathways.
A holistic approach to examine differential gene expression profiles of transcripts relevant to …

Among the many biological responses studied in ecotoxicology, energy-based biomarkers
such as digestive enzyme activities and energy reserves appear to be useful predictive tools …

Proteases from shrimp wastes were characterized and protein hydrolysates were obtained.
Shrimp protein hydrolysates (SPH) were produced by autolysis (H0) and added 1%(H1) and …

Acid digestive proteinases were studied in the gastric fluids of two species of clawed lobster
(Homarus americanus and Homarus gammarus). An active protein was identified in both …

A 45‐day feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the utilization of fermented plant protein
mix (FPPM) as a fishmeal substitute in the diet of Penaeus vannamei. Six isonitrogenous …

Biological invasions have the potential to change the local marine biodiversity through
increasing predation pressure and interactions among species. Charybdis hellerii is a …

Studies on digestive adjustments at the biochemical level in relation to salinity in euryhaline
crabs are lacking. Moreover, knowledge of biochemical digestive characteristics of …
