The aim is to explore how different dietary supplements affect the quality and growth of Chinese mitten crab.
Investigated effects of beef liver, housefly maggot, and frozen trash fish on E. sinensis.
Analyzed muscle crude protein, essential amino acids, and minerals.
Conducted volatile compound analysis to assess flavor characteristics.
Performed partial least squares-discriminant analysis on flavor data.
Beef liver and housefly maggot enhanced growth performance significantly.
Frozen trash fish showed no negative effects on growth.
Beef liver increased muscle crude protein and key minerals.
Frozen trash fish resulted in high deposition of PUFAs, including EPA and DHA.
Dietary regimens distinctly shaped flavor profiles with identified key flavor markers.
