Abstract

The study aimed to investigate the effects of 0%, 0.2%, and 0.4% gamma-aminobutyric acid supplementation in white leg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) diet on growth performance and postlarval quality follow shrimp biotech methods, molecular biology techniques, and wet mount under a microscope. The postlarvae stage PL9-PL25 during culture was investigated. The results found that gamma-aminobutyric acids extracted from plants (Hawthorn, valerian, hops, plants of the cannabis family, mint, and lemon balm) had antioxidant properties and were resistant to Vibrio parahaemolyticus EMS bacteria at a concentration of 50 mg/ml. The PL25 shrimp fed dietary gamma-aminobutyric acid supplementation 0.4% had the highest growth performance. It was 15.75±0.95 mm in total length and 0.028±0.000 g in body weight with a quality score of 95.67±1.15% and statistically significant differences (p<0.05) from the control group (0%). The survival rate was not significantly different (p>0.05), which was in the range of 89.96-93.91%. Furthermore, under salinity and formalin stress condition, the survival rate was in the same range of 98.33-99.67% (p>0.05). In all experimental groups, there was no infection by a pathogen causing early mortality or white spot disease. On the contrary, an EHP infection was found in the hepatopancreas of all experimental groups. Therefore, shrimp diets supplemented with 0.4% gamma-aminobutyric acid could improve postlarvae growth performance and shrimp quality including resistant to environmental stress conditions. The quality of white leg shrimp is still over 90% even under EHP infection conditions.
