However, these studies have not tested feed-restricted levels in relation to animal apparent satiation, but only continuous or intermittent feed deprivation periods. Also, there is no published work on time- and rate-restricted feeding with penaeid shrimp. In this study, we
have hypothesized that it is possible to restrict to some extent L. vannamei period of feed exposure and feeding rates without hampering shrimp growth. The present
work aimed at evaluating the effects of time- and rate-restricted feeding on the growth performance of L.vannamei raised under controlled conditions.
