Nutritional values of microbial floc meal and soy protein concentrate were evaluated as alternative protein sources to fishmeal in diets for Litopenaeus vannamei juveniles. A feeding trial was conducted during 28 days to investigate the effects of partial and total replacement of fishmeal with microbial floc meal and soy protein concentrate on feed intake and growth of L. vannamei. Five diets were formulated to contain 38% crude protein and 17 kJ/g gross energy. Microbial floc meal was obtained from super-intensive shrimp farm effluent. A control diet (with fishmeal as the main protein source) was compared to four diets containing microbial floc meal and soy protein concentrate at 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% replacement levels and a commercial diet. This feeding trial was conducted in a recirculating aquaculture system, utilizing shrimps weighing 2.48 ± 0.29 g. The weight gain, final weight, feed conversion ratio, specific growth rate, protein efficiency ratio and survival were not significantly different among treatments, suggesting that fishmeal can be completely replaced with soy protein concentrate and microbial floc meal without adverse effects on L. vannamei performance. These results suggest that a mixture of soy protein concentrate and microbial floc meal can be utilised as a substitute for fishmeal in diets for L. vannamei juveniles.
► Soy protein concentrate and microbial floc meal can serve as fishmeal substitute.
► Diet devoid of fishmeal produced similar performance than the commercial diets.
► Growth of L. vannamei is not affected by fishmeal substitution.
► Survival exceeded 90% for all treatments.
