Requirements of marine shrimp, Penaeus monodon, juveniles for phosphatidylcholine and cholesterol

The effects of dietary phospholipids and cholesterol on the growth, survival and body lipid compositions of juvenile Penaeus monodon (initial mean weight 0.45±0.14 g) were examined using purified soy phosphatidylcholine (80% purity) as the phospholipid. Three levels of supplemental cholesterol, 0, 0.5 and 1%, were tested in combination with four levels (0, 1.25, 2.5 and 5%) of phosphatidylcholine. The results of the 4-week growth experiment...
