Effects of various levels of dietary copper supplementation with copper sulfate and copper hydroxychloride on Pacific white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei performance and microbial communities

In this study, we assessed the efficacy of various levels of dietary copper supplementation with copper sulfate and copper hydroxychloride in Pacific white shrimp. Our finding shows that both copper sources are utilized efficaciously but metabolized differently by shrimp. This manuscript provides valuable information about effects of high copper levels from two copper sources in shrimp.
