Effects of Diet and Water Source on the Nursery Production of Pacific White Shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei

Effects of Stocking Density and Water Exchange Rates on Growth Performance of Tiger Shrimp, Penaeus Semisulcatus Cultured in Earthen Ponds

“…Shrimp that received more water exchange rate grew faster and matured at larger size, whereas shrimp that received less water exchange rate grew slowly and matured at smaller sizes. Similar observations have been reported in a number of shrimp species [23,27,28]. Water exchange rate availability influenced the total percentage of mature shrimp in the population considerably, being highest in shrimp receiving highest level of water exchange rate and lowest in shrimp receiving lowest level of water exchange rate.…”

Effects of Artificial Substrate and Water Source on Growth of Juvenile Pacific White Shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei

“…Well water was the source water for the round pond, so any differences in water quality between well and pond water resulted from inputs into and management strategies affecting the round pond. Previous studies indicate that water from the round pond can contain high concentrations of suspended organic matter, including microalgae and microbial–detrital aggregates, whereas well water typically has low concentrations of organic matter and is devoid of microalgae (Moss and Pruder 1995; Otoshi et al 2001; Divakaran and Moss 2004). Water in the round pond was mixed by a 1‐HP paddlewheel that operated nightly, and pond water was transferred to the laboratory by a 1/4‐HP submersible pump placed 0.5 m below the water surface at the outer perimeter of the pond.…”

Crecimiento compensatorio y producción en las fases de precría, preengorde y engorde comercial del camarón blanco, <i>Litopenaeus vannamei</i>, en Costa Rica

“…La amplia disponibilidad de espacio en el estanque y la abundante proliferación de alimento natural generado y promovido por una adecuada fertilización y maduración también contribuyeron al incremento acelerado de la TEC en las poslarvas (Otoshi et al 2001). El valor de la TEC en la PC-PE fue de 3.73 ± 0.66 %g/d.…”
