In the early 1990s there were suggestions for a standard reference diet in nutrition studies for crustaceans in aquaculture. It seems that the topic then went silent. It would be very useful to have an internationally recognised and widely used reference diet for the comparison of nutrition studies.
Several works on nutrition of astacid crayfish under controlled conditions have been made based on the reference diet described here:
Carral, J.M., González, Á., Celada, J.D., Sáez-Royuela, M., García, V. & González, R. (2011). Proposal of a practical diet for juvenile astacid crayfish studies from the onset of exogenous feeding under controlled conditions. Knowl. Manag. Aquat. Ec., 401, 20.

In this link you can see papers regarding different aspects of astacid nutrition based on this diet ("Articles citing this article " section).
Hope this will help you.
