Produção de camarão marinho Litopenaeus vannamei (Boone, 1931) em sistema super intensivo com tecnologia de biofloco na Estação Marinha de Aquicultura da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande

Abstract

This work aimed to describe how activities performed during the period of Mandatory Supervised Internship, required for examining a Bachelor's degree in Fisheries Engineering. This way, it presents the experience acquired in the production of Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) in biofloc technology (BFT), with low water exchange. The internship took place at the Marine Aquaculture Station of the Federal University of Rio Grande (EMA-FURG), from March 16th to May 27th, in 2020. It was possible to monitor the activities and identify the infrastructure needed for the production and the grow-out phase of the shrimp in BFT, from the acquisition of the juveniles until the harvesting of the animals. Several management procedures were also realized, such as calculations related to feeding management, liming, and fertilization, as well as their applications, water quality monitoring, data analyses for decision making, among other activities. Participations in different scientific experiments were also carried out in the Station, further expanding the experience and knowledge acquired, which provided a professional improvement and a practical application of theoretical knowledge.
