Effects of different dietary vitamin A levels in the red shrimp Pleoticus muelleri (Bate, 1888) (Decapoda, Solenoceridae)

Growth, survival, changes in the hepatopancreatic cell morphology, and digestive proteinase activity were evaluated in the red shrimp Pleoticus muelleri (Bate, 1888). A six-week trial was carried out with juveniles of P. muelleri in aquaria. Animals were fed with semi-purified diets with different l...
