Figure 3. Effect of Argovit-4 supplemented in feed at different doses on cumulative mortality of L. vannamei juveniles.

Figure 3

Shrimp nourished with Argovit-4 supplemented feed with concentration of silver: 10, 100, 1,000 µg/g. (Control +) shrimp fed only with WSSV inoculum. (Control −) shrimp fed with feed lacking Argovit-4 additive. Procedure sequence: at 0 h the feeding with Argovit-4 supplemented feed was executed for the first time; at 12 h feeding with Argovit-4 supplemented feed was performed for the second time and at 24 h feeding with WSSV inoculum (200 mg infected tissue per shrimp) was performed. After that, every 12 h the shrimps were fed with commercial feed. Statistical differences are represented by different letters (p < 0.05). The results are presented as the mean ± SD.
