MR Patel, ML Ojha, KH Vadher, VP Saini, BK Sharma, SK Sharma and AH Ishakani

Shrimp post larvae was key role for successful aquaculture. Shrimps provide high quality rich protein, amino acid, calcium and minerals for human body, while low in calorie and fat and post larva of shrimp was use as feed in commercial finfish hatchery. Lipid of shrimp contains mostly polyunsaturated fatty acids (essential fatty acids). The main purpose for this alteration is that Litopenaeus vannamei has a higher stocking density, higher innate immunity, faster growth rate, yield and lower production costs than Penaeus monodon. The values of nutritional composition of Litopenaeus vannamei post larvae: crude protein: 13.05±0.25%, lipid content: 1.66±0.06%, carbohydrate content: 4.25±0.03%, moisture content: 79.45±0.60% and ash content: 1.59±0.04% were found.
