Fish meal boosts white shrimp growth, revolutionizing aquaculture efficiency.
A study was done to see how different protein sources affect the growth of white shrimp in Lake Qarun. They tested fish meal, meat meal, a mix of both, and plant protein. Shrimp fed fish meal grew the best, followed by the mix of fish and meat meal, then just meat meal, and lastly plant protein. Shrimp fed plant protein had the lowest protein content and highest fat content. Shrimp fed fish meal had the best feed conversion rate and economic efficiency. Overall, fish meal was the best protein source for white shrimp growth in this study.
