[The use of shrimp and turkey buzzard flour and milk whey in food for shrimp under controlled laboratory conditions].

Two diets were prepared for the shrimp's development in the tanks, based on fish meals, shrimp's head meals, "gallinaza" and milk whey. The diets had a protein concentration of 37.8% and 45%, using as control a commercial diet with 35% of protein. Twelve juvenile shrimps with average weights of 2.30 gr. to 3.09 gr were used in each of the six-40 liter aquariums under laboratory controlled conditions for a 28 days period. The growth increments were low in spite of the high protein concentration, due to a deficiency in some essential aminoacid and were not successful in supplementing it with the protein sources used. The aquarium areas turned out to be limiting and growth was affected by density. The statistic analysis showed no significant differences in the treatments used.
