Nutritional Needs of Vannamei Shrimp for Optimal Growth
The shrimp’s nutrition is typically acquired from the feed provided during cultivation. The nutritional content in this feed supports the immunity and sustenance of the shrimp. Here are some key nutrients needed by vannamei shrimp for their growth:

Nutritional Requirements for Vannamei Shrimp
1. Protein
Protein stands as one of the major nutrients required by Vannamei Shrimp. Most of the feed provided to shrimp contains high protein content, reaching about 30 to 50 percent of the total nutrients. Artemia, a commonly used natural feed, is also rich in protein, making it a good choice to fulfill the shrimp’s protein requirements.
2. Lipids
Lipids serve as an energy source and aid in the absorption of vitamins and minerals. Commercial feeds in the form of special pellets for Vannamei Shrimp usually contain crucial lipids for shrimp growth. Providing pellets during the larval stage and before harvesting helps maintain adequate nutrition, including lipids.
3. Carbohydrates
While not the primary energy source, carbohydrates are still essential in providing substances for shrimp shell formation. The nutritional requirement for carbohydrates is not substantial, yet proper management in providing feeds with carbohydrate content is crucial to ensure sufficient energy storage for shrimp.
4. Vitamins
Vitamins A and C are essential for Vannamei Shrimp. Vitamin A plays a role in pigmentation, while vitamin C enhances the shrimp’s immune system. Commercial feeds are generally formulated with the right amount of vitamins tailored to the shrimp’s needs.
5. Minerals
Minerals are necessary for various bodily processes of shrimp, including tissue formation and metabolism. Although crucial, mineral administration must be handled carefully. Excessive mineral intake can negatively impact shrimp growth and health.
