Ecdysterone is a natural hormone that plays a key role in insects and certain invertebrates,its main function is to regulate their growth,development and molting process.In recent years,with the rapid development of aquaculture industry,ecdysterone has been gradually introduced into this field,in order to achieve the purpose of improving yield and optimizing quality by simulating or promoting the physiological process of aquatic organisms.
The main function of ecdysterone
Ecdysterone mainly acts on the moulting and metamorphosis process of insects and crustaceans,which can regulate the growth rate,improve the ability of resistance,and promote protein synthesis and fat metabolism to a certain extent.
Application of ecdysterone in aquaculture
1,promote growth:in aquaculture,ecdysterone can stimulate the growth of aquatic organisms,accelerate their growth rate,thereby improving aquaculture production.For example,when breeding shrimp,the application of ecdysterone can significantly increase the growth rate and weight of shrimp.
2,enhance stress resistance:ecdysterone can improve the resistance of aquatic organisms,such as high temperature resistance,low salt tolerance,etc.,help reduce the mortality in the breeding process,improve the efficiency of farming.
3,improve the quality:ecdysterone can also affect the fat metabolism and protein synthesis of aquatic organisms,so as to improve the meat quality and taste,improve the market value of aquatic products.
Precautions for use
1,dose control:the amount of ecdysterone needs to be strictly controlled,excessive use may lead to physiological abnormalities of aquatic organisms,and even toxicity.
2,safety assessment:Before using ecdysterone,it is necessary to conduct a sufficient safety assessment to ensure that it is harmless to aquatic organisms and human health.
3,farming environment:farming environment is also an important factor affecting the effect of ecdysterone,should ensure the stability of aquaculture water quality and a good ecological environment.
To sum up,ecdysterone has a broad application prospect in aquaculture,but it also needs to be used scientifically and reasonably to ensure its safety and effectiveness.With the progress of science and technology and the deepening of research,it is believed that the application of ecdysterone in aquaculture will be more mature and perfect.
