Determinación de la importancia de las dietas frescas de fuente animal como alimento para reproductores

Abstract

The Litopenaeus vannamei, are species belonging to the shrimp group, one of the main characteristics is that within the aquaculture sector they are the species with the highest demand, both nationally and internationally. Although it is true, in Ecuador this species is one of the raw materials that helps the economic movement of the country, all this thanks to the production methods that specialists use to have greater profitability, one of them is the application of diets fresh as feeding alternatives for Litopenaeus vannamei, due to the properties and nutrients they provide for the shrimp organism. One of the advantages of using this alternative is that production costs are lower since most are biological organisms that provide natural nutrients, and may be of animal or plant origin. However, it must be taken into account that their excessive use breaks down a variety of diseases that forcefully attack the body of these animals, so much so that on some occasions it has caused high levels of mortality in crops. As a result of that, a literature review has been carried out with the sole purpose of analyzing the positive and negative effects regarding the use of fresh diets as a food alternative, in such a way that there is a greater understanding and, above all, awareness when to its usability.
