Abstract

Supplementation of dry artificial feed with fresh leaves of Ailanthus altissima (Simaroubaceae) and Malva parviflora (Malvaceae) during a 12-month-long laboratory trial resulted in elimination of molt death syndrome and a considerable reduction of black spot disease incidence in Macrobrachium rosenbergii adults. An additional effect of this supplement was the shortening of intermolt intervals, as well as increased average body weight.
