Abstract Processing remains of brown shrimp, Crangon crangon, account for up to 60 % of the catch while only the small muscle fraction is used for human consumption. Incorporation into aquafeeds for high-valued species would reduce waste, create by-product value and promote sustainable aquaculture development. A detailed chemical characterisation of the remains from mechanically peeled brown shrimp was made and apparent nutrient digestibility coefficients in Litopenaeus vannamei were investigated. Brown shrimp processing remains (BSPR) contain substantial amounts of key nutrients (521 g.kg(-1 )crude protein, 74 g.kg(-1 )total lipid, 15 MJ.kg(-1 )gross energy) and valuable functional ingredients were detected (cholesterol, astaxanthin). Apparent energy (82 %) and protein (86 %) digestibility coefficients reveal good bioavailability of these nutrients. Dry matter digestibility was lower (64 %) presumably due to the high ash content (244 g.kg(-1)). The amino acid profile meets dietary requirements of penaeid shrimp with high apparent lysine and methionine digestibility coefficients. Analysis of macro-and micro minerals showed reasonable levels of required dietary minerals (phosphorus, magnesium, copper, manganese, selenium, zinc) and apparent copper digestibility was high (93 %). Contamination levels present in BSPR were below European standards acceptable for human consumption. Processing remains of brown shrimp have a high potential as alternative feed ingredient in sustainable diets for L. vannamei in recirculating aquaculture systems.
