A deficiency of cholesterol in shrimp diets can result in slower growth and higher mortality rates. A study by the authors investigated krill meal as a partial replacement for a cholesterol supplement in diets for juvenile Litopenaeus vannamei shrimp.
Health & Welfare
Due to its high protein and highly unsaturated fatty acids content, krill meal can be an effective ingredient in aquafeed.
