Abstract
Cherry shrimp is a popular small ornamental freshwater shrimp cultured. The present study investigated the effects of substrate on growth, survival and pigment intensity of cherry shrimp. These four substrates included GEX® soil, black stone, sand, and white stone, and the experiment was conducted for 30 days. The results showed that body weights of cherry shrimp maintained in GEX® soil, black stone, sand, and white stone were 0.12±0.00, 0.13±0.01, 0.13±0.00 and 0.10±0.00 g, respectively with no statistically significant difference (P>0.05). Body lengths of the cherry shrimp maintained in GEX® soil, black stone, sand, and white stone were 2.09±0.02, 2.03±0.03, 2.11±0.02 and 1.90±0.00 cm, respectively. The final body length was significantly less increased in white stone than the other treatments (P<0.05). The highest survival rate was found in sand (76.67±3.33%), GEX® soil (70.00±17.32%), black stone (13.33±3.33%) and white stone (10.00±0.00%), respectively. For pigment intensity, cherry shrimp maintained in GEX® soil showed the highest intensity value at the color level of seven whereas in sand presented the lowest pigment intensity at the color level of three. In addition, there was no statistically significant difference for cumulative amounts of total carotenoids in the cherry shrimp from each treatment indicating that different substrates had no effect on the total carotenoid accumulation in cherry shrimp.
