Notes on the crustacean nutrition papers presented at the 11th Annual Meeting of the World Mariculture Society, New Orleans, March 5-9, 1980

Abstract

During a private visit to the USA in March 1980, the author attended the Annual Meeting of the World Mariculture Society. This year's meeting included nineteen papers on crustacean nutrition, most of which concerned shrimps and prawns. The abstracts of the papers given are not generally available, and the World Mariculture Society usually takes about eighteen months to produce the proceedings of its annual meetings (the 1979 issue had not arrived by April 1980). It was therefore felt that publ ication of brief notes based on the highlights of the papers presented would be of value. It is hoped that the national project and others in the region who are working with crustacea but who were not fortunate enough to attend the meeting will find these notes useful. The notes are divided into broad topics similar to those used in a recent bibliography on shrimp and prawn nutrition (New, 1980). A reference section is provided and the addresses of the principal authors cited is given.
