Abstract

Shrimp culture is one of the most profitable business in the aquaculture industry. Minerals are the key mediator that plays a vital role in the physiological process of shrimp. Proper management of minerals and water quality are the most crucial factors that affect the shrimp culture. Calcium and Magnesium are inevitable in shrimp culture. Minerals are available in various forms commercially; the challenge is the suitable selection and application of the right dose of required minerals at right time. The imbalance in mineral concentration leads to osmotic stress which affects the growth and survival of shrimp.

Keywords: Calcium; Magnesium; Minerals; Supplements; Shrimp
