Abstract

Penaeus monodon (black tiger shrimp) is one of the most cultured shrimp species in India. Biochemical compositions of such shrimp species play a major role in recent decades. The biochemical composition is an index to assess the nutritional quality of food sources. The present work endeavor is to analyze total protein, carbohydrates, total lipids, amino acids, fatty acids, vitamins and minerals from muscle tissues of both Gilbertella persicaria fungal fouling infected and healthy shrimp, P. monodon. The study animal was captured by cast net operation from cultured grow-out shrimp pond located in Tamil Nadu. The study revealed maximum amounts of nutritional status was observed in healthy shrimp P. monodon (total protein 49.15%, carbohydrate 16.53%, total lipid 2.37%) tissues compared with G. persicaria fungal fouling infected shrimp (total protein 31.15%, carbohydrate 11.05%, total lipid 1.04%) were recorded. These results indicate novel report on nutritional aspect of fungal fouling pathogen G. persicaria which has significantly contributed in biochemical composition reduction of P. monodon.

Highlights

Sea foods products encompass as important sources of nutrients in the human diet which are digestible because of the less connective tissue (Yanar and Çelik, 2006)
India by virtue of its 7000 kms long coastline has tremendous potential in terms of marine foods resources (Vivekanandan et al, 2005). (Shalini, 2013) reported that healthy shrimps are nutritionally rich than shrimps infected with white spot syndrome virus (WSSV)
In Year 2012-2013 many fungal fouling P. monodon shrimps predominantly infected by phytopathogenic fungi G. persicaria were found in grow out farms at Vellapallam coastal areas of Tamil Nadu

Summary

Introduction

Sea foods products encompass as important sources of nutrients in the human diet which are digestible because of the less connective tissue (Yanar and Çelik, 2006). Apart from their delicacy, crustaceans such as shrimps, crabs and lobsters clinch high amount of proteins, lipids and vitamins with wide assortment of minerals without much fat, cholesterol, sodium, metals and low concentration of carbohydrates (González-Félix et al, 2002). In Year 2012-2013 many fungal fouling P. monodon shrimps predominantly infected by phytopathogenic fungi G. persicaria were found in grow out farms at Vellapallam coastal areas of Tamil Nadu. It was first time novel report of phytopathogenic fungi G. persicaria infection on P. monodon (Karthikeyan and Gopalakrishnan, 2014)
