“…The final shrimp biomass reached 0.64-1.12 kg/m 3 (equivalent to 4.19-7.33 t/ha) and was within the range of yields given for inten-sive shrimp production systems, that is, 0.5-10 kg/m 3 or 5-10 t/ha (Hopkins et al 1995;Davis and Arnold 1998;McNeil 2000). Shrimp mortality and lower weekly growth rates in the last 2 wk of production for shrimp stocked at 100 ind/m 2 confirmed the previously documented decrease in growth and survival rates associated with increasing stocking densities (Lee et al 1986;Sandifer et al 1987;Martin et al 1998). Other phenomena occurring in the last 2 wk of production in these tanks, associated with higher feed input (Fig.…”

Zero‐water exchange shrimp culture systems are being investigated to reduce water and pathogens input and effluent output. The relative abundance and diversity of ciliates have been used as indicators of water quality and ecosystem dynamics in natural systems; however, their occurrence and role in shrimp production systems have not been investigated. The objectives of this research were to describe the succession of the ciliate community in a shrimp grow out system, to investigate the impact of increasing shrimp stocking density on the characteristics of the ciliated protozoa community, and to correlate this with shrimp performance. A growth trial with Litopenaeus vannamei was conducted outdoors with zero‐water exchange and three stocking densities (50, 75 and 100 shrimp/m2). In all treatments, free‐swimming ciliates were dominant in the early weeks, while substrate‐associated ciliates appeared later. The 100 shrimp/m2 treatment exhibited a lower abundance of free‐swimming ciliates but higher abundance of hypotrichous ciliates in the second half of production and higher shrimp mortality and lower shrimp growth in the last 2 wk. These results provide a preliminary examination of the role of ciliates in shrimp culture systems and direction for future work in determining the role of protozoa as indicators of water quality.

“…Several authors have described density-dependent growth in shrimp culture systems (Cailouet, Norris, Heald & Tabb 1976;Sedgwick 1979;Maguire & Leedow 1983). Many show an inverse relationship between growth and stocking density (Lee, Sweeney & Richards Jr. 1986;Sandifer, Hopkins & Stokes 1987;Ray & Chien 1992;Daniels, D' Abramo, Fondren & Durant 1995).…”

Two trials were conducted with two sizes, grow‐out (80.0 mg b.w.) and fattening (5.0 g b.w.), of Penaeus semisulcatus to compare the production and yield of shrimp cultured at different stocking densities within an indoor running‐seawater system. In the first experiment, postlarvae were cultured at 50, 100, 150 and 200 m−3 for 68 days, while in the second experiment, juveniles were cultured at 24, 50, 74 and 100 m−3 for 126 days. The results of the two experiments showed significant decrease in weight of shrimp as the stocking density increased. During the grow‐out stage, no statistical differences were observed on survival rates among the shrimp stocked at different densities. Thus, as the primary factor to consider at this stage is the number of shrimp produced, it is recommended to use a density of 200 shrimp m−3. During the fattening stage, the survival rate at the highest density was statistically lower than the other three densities. The mean yield was 437.02, 869.16, 1217.62 and 1446.78 g m−3 for shrimp stocked at 24, 50, 74 and 100 m−3 respectively. Although the average harvest size of juveniles at the lowest stocking density was statistically higher than those stocked at the highest stocking density, both sizes (18.12 and 16.67 g) will be classified as one size group in the market, i.e. medium. As the yield significantly increases as the stocking density is increased, it is therefore recommended that the stocking density for the fattening stage be 100 shrimp m−3.

Others have shown an inverse relationship between growth and stocking density (Lee et al 1986; Sandifer et al 1987; Whay‐Ming and Yew‐Hu 1992; Daniels et al 1995). Stocking densities have been established for several species of penaeid shrimps in high‐salinity systems, including Penaeus monodon (Ray and Chien 1992), P. vannamei (Wyban et al 1987; Sandifer et al 1987), Penaeus penicillatus (Liao and Chien 1990), and Penaeus semisulcatus (Al‐Ameeri and Cruz 2006).…”
