A method for regulating shrimp body color by stages based on carotenoid metabolism timing
By accurately feeding shrimp in stages based on the differences in the metabolic time of carotenoids in the hepatopancreas of shrimp, the problem of unreasonable feeding in existing technologies has been solved. This has achieved efficient and stable control of shrimp body color and reduced costs, while improving the redness and uniformity of shrimp body color.

AI Technical Summary
The current shrimp farming industry lacks precise definition of the time-dependent effects of carotenoids in the hepatopancreas of shrimp, leading to unreasonable feeding, pigment waste, substandard body color control, and high farming costs. Existing technologies also suffer from problems such as crude stage division and lack of quantitative standards for time-dependent effects.
Based on the differences in the metabolic time of different carotenoids in the hepatopancreas of shrimp, the feeding sequence is determined, and the corresponding carotenoids are fed precisely in stages. The feeding plan is adjusted in combination with the molting cycle of shrimp to achieve efficient and stable regulation of shrimp body color.
It achieved precise temporal control of shrimp body color, improved pigment utilization efficiency, reduced farming costs, and experimental verification showed that it significantly improved the redness and uniformity of shrimp body color.
