Summary: This article reviews the current status and challenges of decapod crustacean farming from an animal welfare perspective. It proposes potential welfare indicators and critically evaluates the scientific evidence of sentience in commercially important decapods. Despite extensive research in stress physiology, immunology, and disease control, there is still limited knowledge on key parameters related to welfare dimensions. The article recommends further research to develop a comprehensive welfare assessment and species-specific welfare indicators for all farmed decapod crustaceans.

Summary: The study conducted in intensified shrimp farms in Gujarat aimed to highlight the profitability and production function analysis of Penaeus monodon and Litopenaeus vannamei. The results showed that more intensively managed farms performed better than less intensive farms, with feed being the most significant input for production of both species. The average net returns per hectare per year were $16313.13 for Penaeus monodon and $41640.99 for Litopenaeus vannamei.

Summary: The commercial cultivation of Litopenaeus vannamei has greatly benefited the global shrimp industry in the past decade. However, there are no academic sources supporting its commercial farming in Bangladesh, which is an important player in the global shrimp industry. The declining shrimp industry in Bangladesh, caused by the low production of traditionally cultivated black tiger shrimp and its susceptibility to diseases, calls for immediate policy measures to introduce high-yielding Litopenaeus vannamei species.

Summary: This study investigated the phenotypic and genetic variances and relationships for body weight and body color traits of black tiger shrimp. It found that the color of cooked shrimp can be improved indirectly by genetic selection based on the color of uncooked/live shrimp. Additionally, the intensity of coloration is positively correlated with body weight traits.

Summary: Underutilized seafood by-products have potential as feed ingredients to reduce fish meal and oil use in aquaculture. This study found that Brown shrimp processing remains (BSPR) can be a nutritive and growth promoting feed ingredient for Pacific Whiteleg shrimp. Diets with 50% BSPR replacement of fishmeal showed the best weight gain, and higher BSPR inclusion levels improved molting synchronicity and feed conversion ratios. Shrimp haematology was unaffected by dietary treatment, indicating good health and nutritional status.

Summary: This study established prediction models for meat yield and net meat weight in Pacific whiteleg shrimp, with the prediction accuracy reaching 0.991 for net meat weight. However, the prediction accuracy for meat yield was only 0.450. Although heritability of meat yield is not high, genetic improvement through direct selection is feasible.

Summary: The study evaluated the effects of adding different levels of Ulva fasciata from IMTA culture to diets for Seriola dorsalis. While no significant impact on growth and somatic parameters was observed, hematocrit levels varied among treatments. Supplementation of U. fasciata at 10 g kg(-1) resulted in a decrease in linoleic acid and an increase in DHA in muscle tissue.

Summary: The research investigated the effects of different SFA:MUFA ratios on the growth performance, tissue fatty acid composition, and gene expression involved in lipid metabolism of juvenile California Yellowtail. It was found that the fish fed the control diet outperformed the experimental feeds with increasing SFA:MUFA ratio in terms of weight gain and liver index. The fatty acid composition in tissues reflected the dietary composition, with a slight sparing effect of LC-PUFA observed.

Summary: This study investigated the transfer of fatty acids from broodstock diets to eggs and the time needed for the eggs to equilibrate to the diet in Southern flounder. The findings indicate that different diet treatments significantly affect the fatty acid composition of eggs, and it takes 8-16 weeks for the eggs to adapt to changes in the adult diet. These results are important for improving broodstock diets and feeding protocols in stock-enhancement programs.
