. However, the result is lower than those reported in other crustaceans, such as 5.19% of crude protein (CP) for Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) (with 0.10 g initial body weight
(IBW) at 35% dietary crude protein, Fox et al., 1995), and 5.2% and 5.8% of CP for Black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) (with 0.02 g IBW at 40% dietary CP, Millamena et al., 1998; 2.4 g IBW at 34% dietary CP,Richard et al., 2010).
