    abstract = {To understand the nutritional value of chaya leaf meal (<I>Cnidoscolus 
  chayamansa</I>) as an alternative diet for blue shrimp (<I>Litopenaeus stylirostris</I>), 
  four separate diets that contained 0, 10, 20 or 30% chaya leaf meal were created. 
  These diets replaced a mix of soybean meal/wheat meal (45.63-54.36%) and the 
  effects of these diets were compared to those observed with a commercial diet. 
  The diets were evaluated after <I>ad libitum</I> feeding of juvenile blue shrimp 
  (initial weight of 0.250&plusmn;0.04 g) for 28 days using a completely randomized 
  design (4 replicates with 6 shrimp per aquarium). Bioassay results from the 
  evaluated parameters demonstrated that the best diets for feeding rate and weight 
  gain were the 20% chaya diet (1.36 g and 269.98%) and the commercial diet (1.46 
  g and 247.36%). For the feed conversion rate parameter, the best results were 
  obtained from the 20% (2.06) and 0% (2.09) chaya diets. There were no significant 
  differences in survival rates (p&gt;0.05) but shrimp on the commercial diet 
  had the lowest survival rate (88.88%).}
