Description Nutrient interactions and interrelationships cannot be ignored in nutrition research. Among the macronutrient interaction mechanisms studied calorie protein
interaction is the first to be taken up in any animal either terrestrial or aquatic. Shrimp is no exception in this regard. Thus research in crustacean nutrition began
in the laboratories of Dr. Kanazawa and Dr. Provasoli in the 1960s in Japan (Kagoshima University) and United States (Yale University) respectively. Dr. Kanazawa focused on development of test diets by modifying his own diets
designed for silkworm, to study the absolute macronutrient requirements in Penaeus japonicus. His effort was 'with a vision to support the commercially successful shrimp mariculture in Japan then. Dr. Provasoli, motivated by his
success in defining the nutrient requirements in the culture media for freshwater and marine algae, extended his work to define the nutrient requirements of certain
crustaceans like Artemia and Moina, which consumed algae. Some of the first descriptions of macronutrient and micronutrient interactions came from him.
