Abstract

The use of the mussel Mytella strigata as a feed supplement of juvenile shrimp Penaeus vannamei was evaluated with three treatments of three replicates using a commercial dry feed of 35% crude protein: T1 (100% dry feed), T2 (90% dry feed + 10% Mytella strigata meat meal) and T3 (90% dry feed + 10% Mytella strigata meal with shell). Two hundred and seventy juveniles of Penaeus vannamei with 1.34 ± 0.08 g average weight were reared within a laboratory in a controlled system. The replicates (30 shrimp in an 80 L tank) were arranged in a completely randomized design. Feeding was carried out providing 10% of the shrimp biomass, in two portions per day (8h00 and 17h00) during 21 days. There were no significant differences in the evaluated parameters (growth in weight, survival, yield and feed conversion). However, the organisms maintained with treatment T2 always showed higher average values ​​with low average dispersion indices, compared to the other treatments, suggesting it as the best diet. It is recommended to carry out more exhaustive studies, with a greater number of replications and additive doses of the mussel, as well as a study of the nutritional components of the meat of the mussel Mytella strigata to elucidate its use as a supplement in diets for the cultivation of Penaeus vannamei.
