What are the roles of ecdysterone in aquaculture?

Ecdysterone is an active substance that regulates the growth,development,metabolism and behavior of insects and other arthropods.Ecdysterone has many physiological activities,such as promoting cell proliferation and differentiation,regulating energy metabolism,and enhancing immune ability.In aquaculture,ecdysterone is mainly used as a feed additive,soaking agent and water quality improver.

Application of ecdysterone in aquaculture

1,ripening:In some aquatic animals,such as shrimp,crabs,etc.,molting hormone can promote their growth and development,improve their maturity and yield.In actual production,farmers often add molting hormone to feed to ripen aquatic animals.For example,in the culture of South American white shrimp,the addition of an appropriate amount of ecdysterone can shorten the growth cycle of shrimp by about 10 days,significantly increasing its yield.

2,weight gain:ecdysterone can promote cell proliferation and differentiation of aquatic animals,improve their metabolism and energy utilization efficiency,thereby increasing their weight.In salmon farming,the addition of ecdysterone can increase the average body weight of the fish by about 30%.

3,reduce the incidence:ecdysterone can enhance the immune capacity of aquatic animals,reduce the risk of disease.In tilapia farming,the addition of ecdysterone can significantly reduce the morbidity and mortality of the fish.

In actual production,many farmers have adopted ecdysterone to improve the yield and economic benefits of aquaculture.For example,a farm in the grass carp breeding process,the ecdysterone is added to the feed,the result found that the growth rate and disease resistance of the fish have been significantly improved,and finally achieved good economic benefits.
