This study aimed to evaluate the effect of the gradual replacement of fishmeal with fish protein hydrolysate (FPH) and biofloc flour (BF) in the diets of white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei postlarvae (2mg). Five diets (420 g kg(-1) of crude protein) were formulated, and these replaced 0 (control), 10, 20, 30 and 40% (T0, T10, T20, T30 and T40, respectively) of the fishmeal. A commercial diet was used as an external control. The alternative ingredients FPH and BF were added at a ratio of 1:1. After 42days, the shrimp survival was higher than 99% in all the treatment groups. A regression test indicated that the ideal fishmeal substitution level to obtain optimal zootechnical parameters (final weight, weight gain and protein efficiency) is between 15.16 and 16.5%. In this study, we demonstrated that BF and FPH are potential ingredients that can be used to replace fishmeal in L.vannamei postlarvae diets.
