Declarations
:
: The use of <i>M. rosenbergii</i> larvae in these nutrition-based trials adheres to the ethical principles in the handling of animals for scientific research and complies with animal welfare regulations in Malaysia. The research was conducted with due consideration minimising harm to the larvae and maximising their welfare throughout the trials. The larvae were treated humanely; their culture environment was tested and monitored closely; were given a feed optimised for growth and robustness; their health and condition were monitored on a daily basis. The use of the larvae in nutrition trials is justified by the potential benefits gained through improved culture practices in the larval phase. The experimental design was checked by a statistician to ensure a robust experimental design and to reduce the overall number of larvae required and any potential impacts. Additional senior oversight of the trial was provided by experienced personnel trained in animal handling and crustacean welfare.
