“…Attempts to treat aquaculture wastewater have ranged from the use of constructed wetlands (Buhmann and Papenbrock, 2013), settling basis (Jones et al, 2001;Engle and Valderrama, 2003), artificial substrates (Stewart et al, 2006;Arnold et al, 2009), bivalve filtration (Jones et al, 2001), reduction of water discharge (Hopkins et al, 1993), and more recently, use of microbial-based zero or lowwater exchange rearing systems (Wasielesky et al, 2006;Avnimelech, 2007;Ballester et al, 2010;Crab et al, 2012;Hende et al, 2014).…”

Bioavailability of crude protein and lipid from biofloc meals produced in an activated sludge system for white shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei

2015

-The present study compared the bioavailability of crude protein and lipid from biofloc meals generated with an activated sludge system using two water sources: wastewater from shrimp experimental culture (BFL-W) and, artificially, using clean seawater (BFL-C). The sludge system operated by chemical and organic fertilization three times per week. Sampling of bioflocs occurred every two days during 81 days. To evaluate digestibility, each type of biofloc meal was incorporated into a reference diet (REF) at 300 g/kg. Another diet acted as a negative control (NEG) by using fish waste meal. The apparent digestibility of bioflocs was estimated by the indirect method using chromic oxide (Cr 2 O 3 ) as the inert marker at 10 g/kg of the diet. Juvenile L. vannamei of 5.09±0.79 g (n = 440) were stocked at 10 shrimp/tank in 44 tanks of 61 L each that operated under a water recirculating regime. Biofloc meals contained a high ash content (591.0-649.2 g/kg) combined with a low crude protein content (95.9-137.3 g/kg). After 26 days, shrimp achieved a final survival of 93.2±0.8% and a biomass gain of 37.1±1.8 g/tank. Final shrimp body weight ranged from 9.01±0.15 to 9.45±0.13 g. The apparent digestibility coefficient (ADC) of crude protein in the biofloc produced from BFL-W, BFL-C and fish waste meal (NEG) reached 26.0, 25.7, and 64.1%, respectively. Similarly, the lipid ADC was 78.9, 67.9, and 85.8%, respectively. This study indicated that biofloc meals had a low protein availability for L. vannamei. However, although low levels of lipid were present, it proved to be available for the species. The dietary inclusion of biofloc meal appears to have a growth-promoting effect on shrimp, which may be associated with trace minerals, or other nutrients not identified in this study.

“…it is available as a source of food supplement for cultured shrimp (Hari et al 2004;Arnold et al 2009;Ballester et al 2010), and offer essential in situ nutrients, such as protein (Emerenciano et al 2012), lipid (Wasielesky et al 2006), amino acids (Ju et al 2008) and fatty acids (Izquierdo et al 2006;Ekasari et al 2010). Biofloc biomass in the culture system that is consumed by cultured shrimp and digested, may compensate a significant amount of protein demand, and consequently reduce the quantity of fish meal (FM) required (Burford et al 2004;Crab et al 2010;Hari et al 2004;Wasielesky et al 2006;.…”

Evaluation of dietary soybean meal as fish meal replacer for juvenile whiteleg shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei reared in biofloc system

et al. 2017

Different levels of dietary soybean meal (SBM) as a fish meal (FM) replacer, with and without amino acid supplementation, for whiteleg shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei reared in the biofloc system was examined in eight weeks of feeding trial. Eight experimental diets consisted of a basal diet with 0% FM replacement by SBM provided in clear sea water without biofloc system (S 0 SW), four diets replacing FM at 0% (S 0 ), 33% (S 33 ), 67% (S 67 ) and 100% (S 100 ) by SBM, and three diets replacing FM at 33% (S 33 A), 67% (S 67 A) and 100% (S 100 A) by SBM supplemented with amino acids (methionine and lysine) in the seawater biofloc system. Results of water quality analyses showed significantly lower total suspended solids and nitrate for S 0 SW group than all other treatments. Diets S 0 and S 33 A resulted in higher weight gain and specific growth rate among all groups, with no significant differences with S 33 group. In addition, whole-body protein and amino acid compositions of shrimp fed S 0 SW were lower than most biofloc groups. Haemolymph parameters showed significant differences in total protein, cholesterol and triglyceride between groups S 0 and S 0 SW. Also, superoxide dismutase activity showed a decreasing trend with increasing replacement level. In conclusion, based on these results, SBM could replace up to 33% of FM with or without amino acid supplementation in juvenile whiteleg shrimp diets reared in the biofloc system.
