Role of arginine supplementation on muscular metabolism and flesh quality of Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) reared in freshwater.

ABSTRACT: It is no doubt that the improvement of flesh quality of Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) reared in freshwater contributes to its development potential in aquaculture. In this study, we aimed to explore the effect of arginine supplementation on the flesh quality of L. vannamei reared in freshwater and its mechanism. L. vannamei were randomly fed with three diets for 56 days, of which arginine level was 10.15 g kg^-1 (arginine-deficient diet), 21.82 g kg^-1 (arginine-optimal diet), and 32.46 g kg^-1 (arginine-excessive diet), respectively. Each diet was randomly assigned to triplicate tanks, and each tank was stocked with 35 shrimps (initial weight: 1.70 ± 0.02 g). Results showed the arginine-optimal diet increased the weight gain
