Título: | The effect of copper on the color of shrimps: Redder is not always healthier |
Autor: | Martínez Vázquez, Ana María CSIC ORCID; Romero, Yanet; Castillo, Tania; Mascaró, Maite, Simoes, Nuno; Gaxiola, Gabriela; López-Rull, Isabel CSIC ORCID CVN; Barbosa, Andrés CSIC ORCID | Fecha de publicación: | 17-sep-2014 | Editor: | Public Library of Science | Citación: | PLoS ONE 9(9): e107673 (2014) | Resumen: | © 2014 PLOS ONE. The objective of this research is to test the effects of copper on the color of pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) in vivo. Forty-eight shrimps (L. vannamei) were exposed to a low concentration of copper (1 mg/L; experimental treatment) and forty-eight shrimps were used as controls (no copper added to the water). As a result of this experiment, it was found that shrimps with more copper are significantly redder than those designated as controls (hue (500-700 nm): P = 0.0015; red chroma (625-700 nm): P<0.0001). These results indicate that redder color may result from exposure to copper and challenge the commonly held view that highly pigmented shrimps are healthier than pale shrimps. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/122831 | DOI: | 10.1371/journal.pone.0107673 | Identificadores: | doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0107673 issn: 1932-6203 |
