Growth Of The Shrimp, Penaeus Aztecus, Fed A Diet Of Live Mysids (Crustacea: Mysidacea), John Ogle, Wayne Price
Gulf and Caribbean Research
Commercial brown shrimp (Penaeus aztecus) were shown to consume large numbers of mysid shrimp (Mysidopsis almyra) under laboratory conditions. Growth of shrimp fed a diet of mysids was comparable to growth of shrimp fed a diet of Artemia nauplii. It is suggested that mysid shrimp may serve as a food source for juvenile penaeid shrimp in northwestern Gulf coast estuaries.
