ABSTRACT Juvenile abalone, Haliotis discus hannai Ino, of 0.55 [+ or -] 0.02 g in body weight, and 15.48 [+ or -] 0.31 mm in shell length, were fed with six purified diets containing 0, 9.8, 19.8, 39.7, 79.4, 158.5 mg Ca-pantothenic acid/kg diet for 16 wk. The Ca-pantothenic acid was microbound with sodium alginate, and other water-soluble vitamins were encapsulated with sodium alginate, by an emulsion coacervation process, prior to supplementation in experimental diets. The dietary Ca-pantothenic acid concentration did not affect the body composition of abalone. Weight gain (WG), daily incr...
