For best protection of shrimps, samples were submitted to
a glazing system (immersion in a container of cold water at 1 C for
10 s), then packaged in plastic bags, weighted, and stored at 25 C
for 15 days (to assure the complete freezing process) before being
thawed (Gonçalves & Ribeiro, 2008a). The treatments were performed
in triplicate.
