Effect of HUFA in Enriched on Growth Performance, Biochemical and Fatty Acid Content, and Hepatopancreatic Features of Postlarvae from a Commercial Shrimp Hatchery in Santa Elena, Ecuador.

A 12-day experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of enrichment with two experimental microalgal emulsions (formulated with selected fatty acid contents) on postlarvae. For this purpose, 405,000 postlarvae (stage 1) were obtained from a commercial hatchery in Santa Elena, Ecuador, and distributed into nine fiberglass tanks. Postlarvae were fed for 12 days with three experimental diets (three tanks per treatment): treatment A ( enriched with experimental microalgal emulsion A and dry diet), treatment B ( enriched with experimental microalgal emulsion B and dry diet) and nonenriched ( without enrichment and dry diet).

The Ethyl Acetate Extract of the Marine Edible Gastropod Haliotis tuberculata coccinea: a Potential Source of Bioactive Compounds.

The phylum Mollusca represents one of the largest groups of marine invertebrates. Nowadays, molluscan shellfish belonging to the classes Bivalvia and Gastropoda are of commercial interest for fisheries and aquaculture. Although bioactive properties of bivalve molluscs have been widely investigated and several dietary supplements have been brought to the market, the bioactive potentialities of marine gastropods are poorly documented.
