Abstract
The global demand for seafood is increasing due to population growth,
necessitating sustainable aquaculture practices. This study investigated the
length-weight relationships of Litopenaeus vannamei supplemented
with Spirulina spp. from a pond at Dantrai, Bharuch, Gujarat.
Standardized methods were applied to measure length and weight. Spirulina supplementation
is known for enhancing growth, immune function, and disease resistance in
shrimp through its rich nutritional and bioactive profile. The length-weight
relationship and condition factor provide insights into the physiological
status of shrimp and their adaptation to environmental conditions. Results
showed favorable growth metrics and a credible length-weight relationship with
a strong correlation coefficient, indicating that Spirulina supplementation
effectively promotes shrimp growth and metabolic health. This research supports
the integration of Spirulina as a functional feed additive to improve
shrimp aquaculture productivity and sustainability
