Regulation of dietary phospholipids on growth performance, antioxidant activities, phospholipid metabolism and vitellogenesis in prereproductive phase of female swimming crabs, Portunus trituberculatus

Sixteen weeks feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary phospholipid (PL) supplementation on growth performance, antioxidant activities, phospholipid metabolism key enzyme activities, and vitellogenesis in prereproductive phase of female P. trituberculatus. Six diets were formulated to contain 0.99%, 1.65%, 2.51%, 3.63%, 4.95% or 6.12% phospholipid, respectively. Crabs with an initial body weight of 25.48 ± 0.12 g were...
