Liposoluble vitamins in Crustacean feed: Metabolic and Histological responses. Indian Journal of Experimental Biology. 2016 May; 54(5): 297-308.http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/178717Vitamins are vital for normal growth and survival of living organisms and they are distributed in feedstuffs in small quantities. This review is focused on the liposoluble vitamins (A, D, E and K) in the diets and metabolic responses of the Argentine penaeoid shrimps Pleoticus muelleri and Artemesia longinaris, distributed along the South American coast line. Growth, survival and histological analyses serve as indicators of the nutritional value derived from vitamin deficiency. Liposoluble vitamins are also related to stress, antioxidant defense and immune response of shrimps. Effective diet for shrimp culture that provide not only macronutrients including protein and lipid but also micronutrients such as vitamins for optimal growth is an ever improving subject. This review may help formulating suitable feeds for shrimps.enAquacultureArtemesia longinarisCalciferolDecapodaImmunity responsesMenadioneNutritionOxidative stressPhilloquinonePleoticus muelleriRetinolShrimpsTocopherolsTocotrienolsArticle
