Dietary Issues

Knowledge of shrimp nutrition has developed rapidly in recent years, which has resulted in improvements in the quality of shrimp feeds available to the farmer. Nevertheless, determining the contribution of specific nutritional factors to disease outbreaks or deficiencies in shrimp production is difficult. 

Several shrimp diseases are known to be caused by nutritional deficiencies.  These diseases represent the "tip of the iceberg" for negative impacts of nutrition and feed quality. Perhaps, an important feature of these major nutritional deficiency diseases is that when they occur, they clearly indicate that an evaluation of feeds is needed.
