Objectives

1. Assess the effectiveness of three forms of amino acid supplementation to improve the amino acid balance of diets containing terrestrial proteins. (CSIRO).
2. To define the daily requirements for essential amino acids and energy of the black tiger prawn during grow-out at specific temperatures.
