Resumen:
Vitamins are important for normal growth and survival of living organisms and they are distributed in feedstuffs in small quantities. There are two groups of vitamins: water-soluble and fat-soluble. The later includes vitamins A, D, E and K. This chapter summarizes several studies carried out with the Argentine penaeoid shrimp species Pleoticus muelleri and Artemesia longinaris, and their comparison with other Decapoda species, regarding liposoluble vitamins, A, D, E and K, in the diets and metabolic responses. Argentine shrimp species are distributed along South American coast line, from 29°S to 49°S. Growth, survival, and histological analysis were used as monitors of the nutritional value derived from vitamin deficiency. Liposoluble vitamins are also related to stress and antioxidant defense of shrimp. It compared these results with those reported for other crustaceans. This information increased knowledge about biology of Argentine shrimp species and this would help in the formulation of suitable feeds for shrimp. There is, thus need to formulate an effective diet for shrimp in culture conditions, to provide not only macro nutrients, including protein and lipid, but also micronutrients such as vitamins that support optimal growth of shrimp.
