Fatty acid nutrition of juvenile Litopenaeus vannamei
Knowledge of the fatty acid nutrition requirements in Pacific white shrimp, an economically important penaeid for shrimp farming in the Americas, is limited.
Aquafeeds
Maturation diets for shrimp broodstock often include fresh food organisms like squid, bloodworms and fish, which is labor-intensive and involves quality and safety issues.

Knowledge of the fatty acid nutrition requirements in Pacific white shrimp, an economically important penaeid for shrimp farming in the Americas, is limited.
Aquafeeds
The higher cost of feeds for RAS can be offset by better management, since it is easier to feed frequently and monitor uneaten or wasted feed.
Health & Welfare
Phospholipids and cholesterol are essential lipids for shrimp yet knowledge of dietary requirements during the juvenile stage is still limited.
Aquafeeds
RAS inputs and outputs are easily quantified, but even an efficient system will appear to have higher operating costs than a traditional pond.
Health & Welfare
Results of this trial show it's possible to reestablish L. vannamei production in a WSSV-infected region, even with a continued viral source on the same farm.
