Abstract
Penaeus monodon larvae (zoea, mysis and postlarvae) were fed 9 different diets
consisting three levels of astaxanthin (AX; 0, 200 and 500 ppm) and three levels of vitamin
A (A; 0, 20,000 and 40,000 IU/kg). The experiment was 3x3 factorials in a completely
randomized design with three replicates. Diets were practical diets with mean protein and
lipid of 50 and 11%, respectively. The results showed that zoea and mysis survival and
growth rate had interaction between AX and A. Fed AX 500 ppm had provided the highest
survival and growth. For the PL15 stage, larvae with no A diet fed AX 500 ppm had higher
survival rates than of shrimp fed other diets. The growth rate of PL15 shrimp fed the diet
containing 0 ppm AX and A was significantly greater than that of shrimp fed other
combination diets. Shrimp fed A 40,000 IU/kg showed less survival in zoea stage, but in
mysis and PL stage, shrimp fed higher AX and A contents gave less survival than these
shrimp fed only A diets. During a low salinity stress test, PL15 shrimp fed diets containing
AX 500 ppm had significantly greater tolerance to low salinity exposure.
The diets used in this study had protein (50%) and lipid (11%), which were optimal
levels for growth and survival of shrimp larvae (Teshima and Kanazawa, 1984). Results of
dietary effects on survival rate, growth rate and Time to CM50 shown in Table 1 and Table 2.
The supplemented diets with AX and A had interaction on growth and survival rate of zoea
and mysis stages. Shrimp larvae (zoea, mysis and postlarvae) performed the best growth and
survival rate when fed the diet containing AX 500 ppm with no A. In stress test, diet with
only 500 ppm AX added in practical diet could increase salinity stress tolerance of shrimp
postlarvae. Vitamin A supplemented to diet seemed to have negative effect at 40,000 IU/kg
survival rate of mysis and postlarval stages, but no effect on growth rate of all P. monodon
larval stages. In conclusion, Survival and growth rate of P. monodon larvae can be
performed better by only adding astaxanthin 500 ppm to 1 kg of diet. Shrimp larvae did not
need additional vitamin A in practical diet.
