Description
Dai and seven co-authors measured shrimp feed genetics in this study from twenty twenty-four. Fishmeal is scarce, so farms want shrimp that thrive on plant-based feed. The team compared a fishmeal-free diet against a quarter-fishmeal diet in Pacific whiteleg shrimp. They tracked leftover feed, daily growth, and daily intake.
On plant feed, shrimp left more feed uneaten and grew far slower. The traits proved strongly heritable under both diets. Yet the genetic rankings shifted between diets, especially for growth. That genotype-by-diet effect was strongest for daily gain. The authors conclude breeding must target the plant diet itself, not assume fishmeal winners will transfer.
