Proximate Biochemical Composition of Penaeus vannamei: A Review with Comparative Analysis
Keywords:
Penaeus vannamei, Proximate Composition, Protein, Lipid, Ash, Aquaculture NutritionAbstract
Penaeus vannamei (Pacific whiteleg shrimp) is the most extensively cultured penaeid shrimp worldwide and a major contributor to global seafood supply. Knowledge of its proximate biochemical composition-moisture, crude protein, lipid, ash, and carbohydrate-is essential for evaluating nutritional quality, optimizing aquaculture feed formulations, and understanding the influence of culture practices and environmental factors on shrimp quality. This review synthesizes published literature on the proximate composition of P. vannamei and presents comparative tables highlighting variations reported across studies.
