lipids without fish oil. Figures 2-5 report further growth performance parameters and nutrient utilization. Preliminary data indicates that algae meal exhibited better performance than other oil sources used in the present study. Results may change as the study will continue another eight weeks, but the first 30 days show much promise in efforts to remove fish oil completely in Pacific white shrimp diets when 25 percent fish meal is added.
