Influence of variation in water temperature on survival, growth and yield of Pacific white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei in inland ponds for low‐salinity culture

Abstract

There is considerable interest in the culture of whiteleg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) in inland low-salinity water in Alabama and other states in the Sunbelt region of the US. However, the growing season is truncated as compared with tropical or subtropical areas where this species is typically cultured, and temperature is thought to be a major factor influencing shrimp production in the US. This study, conducted at Greene Prairie Aquafarm located in west-central Alabama, considered water temperature patterns on a shrimp farm in different ponds and different years; and sought possible effects of bottom water temperature in ponds on variation in shrimp survival, growth and production. Water temperature at 1.2 m depth in 22 ponds and air temperature were monitored at 1-hr intervals during the 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015 growing seasons. Records of stocking rates, survival rates and production were provided by the farm owner. Correlation analysis and linear mixed model analysis of variance were used. Results showed that hourly water temperatures differed among ponds. The range of water temperature in each pond explained 41% of the variance in average final weight of shrimp harvested from each pond. In conclusion, the results suggest that variation in water temperature patterns has considerable influence on shrimp growth and survival in ponds.

Effect of water temperature on protein requirement of Heteropneustes fossilis (Bloch) fry as determined by nutrient deposition, hemato-biochemical parameters and stress resistance response

“…On the other hand, mortality at 26°C water temperature was not recoded even at the lowest level of dietary protein. The results are in line with various other finfish and shellfish studies (Li et al 2011;Sun et al 2015;Abdelrahman et al 2019). Azaza et al (2008) described that the survival rate of Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus was significantly lower when it was reared at lower and upper level of its optimum water temperature.…”

Dry matter, protein, and energy digestibility of diets for juvenile Pacific white leg shrimps (Litopenaeus vannamei) reared at different salinity levels

“…The Pacific white leg shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei is one of the most commonly farmed species at commercial scale because of its fast growth, high survival at high density, and resistance to disease (MARTÍNEZ-CÓRDOVA et al, 2009;ANAYA-ROSAS et al, 2017;ABDELRAHMAN et al, 2019). Their osmoregulatory capacity allows them to inhabit waters with salinity ranging from 0.5 to 60 ppt (ROY et al, 2007;JAIME-CEBALLOS et al, 2008;CHEN et al, 2019).…”

“…Diet nutrient composition is one of the main factors affecting the digestibility in shrimps; and Méndez-Martínez et al consequently, the waste output in such aquaculture production systems (MARTÍNEZ-CÓRDOVA et al, 2009;CHATVIJITKUL et al, 2017). Diet formulation can; therefore, contribute to minimize waste discharge from aquaculture (AMIRKOLAIE, 2011;MÉNDEZ-MARTÍNEZ et al, 2018).…”

“…Studies of feedstuff digestibility in commercially-farmed aquatic organisms have gained increasing interest in recent years (CAMPAÑA-TORRES et al, 2006;HOSSEIN et al, 2017). Data on nutrient digestibility is particularly important to determine suitable and accurate diet formulations for white leg shrimp farming (YANG et al, 2009;HOSSEIN et al, 2017).…”

“…Temperature is a water quality parameter that plays an important role in the course of the vanname shrimp culture system (Abdelrahman et al, 2018). In ponds culture, the level of temperature is strongly influenced by weather and environmental conditions (Culberson and Piedrahita, 1996).…”
