Introduction
Nutrition plays an important role in the life of any organism. It is practically true in the case of aquatic organisms, in which the development and population sustainability is largely depending on the availability of right quality feed at right qunatity.
In the life of the shellfishes, their growth and reproduction depend on extrinsic factors such as water quality, environment and feed. Understanding their nutritional requirements is essential to provide the required feed for their development and living.
Shellfish brooders demand special feed items in order to go thorugh tough maturation and spawning process. In many species, migration is also an integral part of the reproduction and therefore the energy becomes an inevitable parameter in deciding their sucessful breeding and survival.
