DON contaminated wheat was added to shrimp diet to obtain DON levels of 0.2, 0.5 and j1.1 mg/kg. Pelleted diets were fed 3 times daily until satiation to Pacific white shripm Litopenaeus vannamei. DON in the diet significantly reduced shrimp body weight and/or growth rate. However, the effects of DON at 0.2 and 0.5 mg/kg were manifested at later stages of shrimp growth, and 0.2 mg/kg significantly affected only growth rate and not body weight. Feed conversion ratio and survival of shrimp were not significantly different from controls. After 16 wk of growth, no DON was detected in freeze-dried shrimp, and no consistent difference was observed in the histological organ profiles of shrimp fed diets containing various levels of DON.
