Resumen
Use of bioactive substances, such as nutritional additives, to improve the yields of cultured shrimp is a topic that has received increasing attention to define the biological function of carotenoids as a dietary supplement. Carotenes play an important role in organism health by acting as biological antioxidants, avoiding deterioration of cells and tissues. In crustaceans, they stimulate the immune system, serve as a source of vitamin A, increase resistance to diseases and enhance the rate of reproduction, weight gain and survival.
