The effect of dissolved oxygen and salinity on oxygen consumption, ammonia excretion and osmotic pressure of Penaeus setiferus (Linnaeus) juveniles
TL;DR: Results show that P. setiferus juveniles are capable of changing their energy substrate in response to salinity and DO changes, which may be related to a possible strategy that allows them to obtain energy from proteins.

Effect of salinity in survival, growth, and osmotic capacity of early juveniles of Farfantepenaeus brasiliensis (decapoda: penaeidae)
TL;DR: Osmotic capacity seemed to be related to biological characteristics that determine the environmental preferences and behavior, as well as the distribution of this shrimp species, which has low tolerance to low saline environments, and grows better in salinities greater than its isosmotic point.

Factorial effects of salinity, dietary carbohydrate and moult cycle on digestive carbohydrases and hexokinases in Litopenaeus vannamei (Boone, 1931).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors tested the capacity to digest starch and to metabolise glucose at different stages of the moulting cycle of the Litopenaeus vannamei.

Growth, metabolic rate, and digestive enzyme activity in the white shrimp Litopenaeus setiferus early postlarvae fed different diets
TL;DR: It is determined that partial substitution of Artemia nauplii by artificial diet, with or without addition of algae when rearing early postlarval stages, will benefit the growth and nutritional state of L. setiferus postlarvae.

Effect of Dietary Protein Level on Apparent Heat Increment and Post-Prandial Nitrogen Excretion of Penaeus setiferus, P. schmitti, P. duorarum, and P. notialis Postlarvae
TL;DR: The calorigenic effect of feeding and post-prandial nitrogen excretion were measured in postlarval shrimp species to suggest close relationships among protein requirements, the capacity to use dietary proteins as a source of energy, and adaptation by different species to different types of food.
