Usage and dosage of ecdysterone as raw material for shelling shrimp and crab in aquaculture

Ecdysterone is an active substance extracted from Cyanotis arachnoidea C.B.Clarke to promote molting and metamorphosis of crustaceans.Due to the incomplete nutrient varieties in the bait,it is difficult to remove the shell,which affects the normal growth of shrimp and crabs,and inevitably makes the individual farmed shrimp and crabs smaller than their counterparts living in the natural environment.Therefore,after adding this product,shrimp and crabs can be shelled smoothly,commodity specifications can be improved,and higher economic benefits can be created.
