Özet

The effects of dietary mannan oligosaccharide (MOS), serotonin (5-HT) and the combination of both on molting, growth, survival, body composition, and hepatopancreas histology of the Pacific white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei were investigated for 75 days. Dietary inclusion level of MOS at 3 g kg-1, serotonin at 20 mg kg-1, and both were tested in triplicate groups against a control diet lacking MOS or serotonin. The shrimps having an average initial weight of 1.35 +/- 0.04 g attained to final weights an average of 10.71 control, 11.05 serotonin and 12.26 MOS respectively. Although survival rate was high (86%) in the shrimp fed MOS-supplemented diet, no statistical difference was found among the groups (P>0.05).
