The energy allocation for growth (G/C) in FL3 was significantly
higher than all other treatments, but allocations for respiration (R/
C) were similar to that in FL2 treatment which had the lowest values.
In contrast, the G/C in CL treatment was significantly lower than all
the other treatments except FL4 (Pb0.05), and the R/C was highest
and similar to those in FL1 and FL4. The energy allocation for excretion
(U/C) in FL1 treatment was the highest, and was significantly
higher than that in FL2, FL3 or FL4 treatment (Pb0.05). The lowest
and highest energy allocation for feces (F/C) of shrimp appeared in
FL1 and FL4, respectively. No significant differences in energy allocation
for molting (E/C) were observed among treatments. (P>0.05)
