REVIEW OF DIETARY STUDIES WITH SHRIMP AND PRAWNS

The results of dietary trials with shrimp and prawns published in the decade ending in early 1976 are reviewed. Current knowledge and priorities for future work are assessed under the headings: palatability and physical dietary structure, lipids and sterols, protein, carbohydrate, minerals, vitamins and larval feeding. The problems of drawing quantitative comparisons between the work of different authors are discussed and suggestions for standardizing techniques for dietary trials are made.
