Berçário de camarão Litopenaeus vannamei(BONNE, 1931) cultivado em água oligohalina com tecnologia de biofloco sob diferentes densidades de estocagem

Abstract

The present work evaluated the culture of the marine shrimp Litopenaeus vannameiin the nursery stage submitted to different storage densities in a biofloco system. The cultivation of post-larvae of L. vannameimarine shrimp in biofloc technology was carried out at the Laboratory of Experimentation of Aquatic Organisms of the Federal Rural University of Pernambuco (UFRPE), during the 28-day period. A completely randomized design with three treatments was adopted: D2: 2 shrimps. L-1, D4: 4 shrimps. L-1and D6: 6 shrimps. L-1, with four replicates. Twelve tanks with a useful volume of 15 L of water were used. As post-larvae with initial weight 0.005 ± 0.001 g were fed commercial feed containing 40% crude protein, with a frequency of 3 times a day and feed rate of 10% of the biomass. Fertilizations were done with the daily use of the maintenance schedule of 15: 1 (C: N). During the cultivation were monitored as having success and were identified the types of light and temperature (ºC), dissolved oxygen (mg L-1), conductivity (μS Cm-1), salinity (g L-1), pH, total dissolved solids, total ammoniacal nitrogen (N-NAT), nitrite (N-NO2), nitrate (N-NO3), inorganic phosphate (P-PO4), sedimentable solids (SS) and alkalinity. The performance of the post-larvae was obtained through the comparison of final weight (mg), survival (%), food replacement factor (FCA), condition index, TCE (% -1) and weekly growth (mg). Differences were found not to be a factorof feed conversion and of post-larvae production. Despite the final weight values, survival and weekly evolution differed significantly between treatments (P> 0.05). The results of the results, with respect to one crop were reached when cultivated in the post-larvae of 4 post-larvae L-1, as it was in many treatments (P <0.05). Biofloc technology is a good alternative for the shrimp nursery, bringing high productivity and greater sustainability, especially in semi-arid regions with little availability of water. The adoption of storage densities from 2000 to 6,000 PL. m-3of L. vannameidid not significantly influence the physical chemical variables of water quality.
