Abstract
The degree of ovarian maturation and the specific activities in hepatopancreas and stomach of amylase, trypsin, chymotrypsin, carboxypeptidase A and B and leucine aminopeptidase were determined at different stages of the moulting cycle of wild female pink shrimp Penaeus notialis. Ovarian maturation appeared from intermoult stage C1–C2 to early premoult stage D1. The highest values for amylase in stomach and hepatopancreas ocurred at stages D1 and B2 to C3–C4, respectively. Total proteolytic activity in the hepatopancreas was highest in stages B2 to C3–C4, and in the stomach the highest value was observed in D1. For the endopeptidases, the highest value was for trypsin TAME in stomach during stage D1 and in the hepatopancreas at stage C1–C2. The exopeptidases showed peaks in hepatopancreas in stages C1–C2 and C3–C4. Leucine aminopeptidase showed the lowest proteolytic values and peaks in stomach were observed at stages C3–C4 and D2.
