“…In this context, penaeid shrimps are one of the most important aquaculture organisms, particularly 'white' or ' Despite the benefits and progress of penaeid shrimp aquaculture, this activity faces several problems, including disease (Morales-Covarrubias 2004), environmental pollution, particularly as a result of farm effluent (Sansanayuth et al 1996), and decreasing prices (FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations) 2007). Some strategies, such as antibiotic administration (Bachère 2000), the use of probiotics (Vieira et al 2007), recirculation systems (Otoshi et al 2003), bioremediation of effluents (Sangamaheswaran et al 2001;Paniagua-Michel & García 2003) and polyculture with other species (Eldani & Primavera 1981;Saelee 2002;Thu 2003;Martínez-Có rdova & Martínez-Porchas 2006), have been used to minimize these problems.…”

“…Moreover, some authors have found that adding a secondary or subordinate species improves the performance of the main cultured organism (Gonzales-Corre 1988;Wang et al 1998;Tian et al 2001). For instance, different species of mollusks (Crassostrea gigas and Chione fructifraga) and fish (Oreochromis urolepis hornorum) (Martínez-Có rdova & Martínez-Porchas 2006;Tendencia et al 2006) have been co-cultured with penaeid shrimps, improving the production parameters of the shrimps.…”

Shrimp polyculture is not yet a common practice among farmers; however, this activity represents an important alternative to solving and ⁄ or minimizing some of the problems that shrimp aquaculture has faced in the past two decades (environmental pollution, diseases and decreasing prices). In this context, many benefits have been achieved with some polyculture practices. Several species from diverse trophic levels have the potential to be co-cultured with shrimps. A good knowledge of the species that are candidates for polyculture and an adequately designed culture system are the most important points to consider when co-culturing shrimp with other species. The present paper is a review of the past, present and future of shrimp polyculture with other organisms.

“…Thus, in order to minimize the environmental impact of shrimp farm effluents and promote sustainable aquaculture as well as improve oyster culture in the NE region, implementation of polycultures is a good alternative (RAMOS et al, 2008;REYES, 2013;ROSA, 2014;MARTINEZ-PORCHAS et al, 2010). It is known that shrimp pond water quality can be improved by the use of filter feeding bivalves such as oysters, which can help decrease the concentration of total suspended solids, organic and inorganic matter, nitrogen, phosphorous, chlorophyll a and bacteria (JONES et al, 2001;JONES & PRESTON, 1999;MARTINEZ-CORDOVA & MARTINEZ-PORCHAS, 2006;RAMOS et al, 2008). The improvement of pond water quality contributes to improved growth performance and health of the shrimp (XIE et al, 2011;REYES, 2013).…”

“…Xie et al (2011) recorded an increase in body length and fresh and dry weight of shrimps cultured in ponds with clams. Oysters or other bivalves may benefit from the high concentration of nutrient particles available in shrimp ponds leading to improved growth (MARTINEZ-CORDOVA & MARTINEZ-PORCHAS, 2006).…”

Bivalve culture is of considerable economic and social interest in northeastern (NE) Brazil. The polyculture is an alternative approach to traditional monoculture for reducing the environmental impact of shrimp farming and improving oyster culture. Perkinsus marinus and Perkinsus olseni were found infecting oysters in NE Brazil and can threaten oyster production. This study evaluated Perkinsus spp. occurrence in Crassostrea gasar during all production stages. Oyster spats were produced in a hatchery and grown in shrimp ponds in Rio Grande do Norte state. Perkinsus spp. were surveyed by Ray's fluid thioglycollate medium and confirmed by polymerase chain reaction. Prevalence and intensity of infection were determined in oysters until they reached 7 cm. Results showed that the broodstock was already infected by Perkinsus (60%), but the derived spats were Perkinsus-free. Oyster spats acquired Perkinsus infection when transferred to ponds. The prevalence gradually increased in the seven months following placement in ponds (73%), and then decreased to 17% by the tenth month. The infections were initially mild, but intensity increased at the final growth stage. In conclusion, it is possible to produce Perkinsus-free C. gasar oyster spats from infected broodstock, and their culture in shrimp ponds is feasible.Keywords: Crassostrea gasar, hatchery, oyster, polyculture, Perkinsus sp., sanitary control. ResumoO cultivo de bivalves é de grande interesse econômico e social no Nordeste (NE) do Brasil. O policultivo é uma alternativa ao monocultivo tradicional de camarões para reduzir o impacto ambiental e melhorar a produção de ostras. Perkinsus marinus e Perkinsus olseni foram identificados infectando ostras no Nordeste do Brasil e representam uma ameaça a produção de ostras. Este estudo avaliou a ocorrência de Perkinsus spp. em Crassostrea gasar durante todas as fases de produção. Sementes de ostras foram produzidas em laboratório e cultivadas em viveiros de camarão no Rio Grande do Norte. Perkinsus spp. foram diagnosticados com o uso do meio de tioglicolato fluido de Ray e confirmado por reação em cadeia da polimerase. A prevalência e intensidade de infecção foram determinadas em ostras até atingirem 7 cm. Os resultados mostraram que os reprodutores encontravam-se infectados por Perkinsus (60%), mas as sementes produzidas estavam livres de Perkinsus. As sementes adquiriram a infecção por Perkinsus quando transferidas para os viveiros. A prevalência aumentou gradualmente nos sete meses após a colocação nos viveiros (73%) e, em seguida, diminuiu para 17% até o décimo mês. As infecções foram inicialmente leves, mas aumentaram até a fase final do crescimento. Em conclusão, é possível produzir sementes de ostras C. gasar livres de Perkinsus a partir de reprodutores infectados e seu cultivo em viveiros de camarão é viável.Palavras-chave: Crassostrea gasar, unidade de reprodução, ostras, policultivo, Perkinsus sp., controle sanitário.

Using the hard clam farms in Yunlin, Taiwan as examples, this study analyzes the effects of culture area, stocking density, and shrimp and fish polyculture on the cost efficiency (CE) of hard clam farming. A data envelopment analysis (DEA) is used to estimate the farms' technical efficiency (TE), allocative efficiency (AE), and CE values. The findings show that the mean TE, AE, and CE values of hard clam farms are 0.74, 0.57, and 0.43, respectively. The TE value is higher than the AE value, which indicates that cost inefficiency is mainly attributable to poor AE. Tobit regression results suggest that there are positive relationships between CE and both culture area and operator experience. Hard clam stocking density and age of the operators have negative effects on CE. Hard clam culture areas larger than 2 ha and a stocking density of 1.1-1.2 million hard clams per hectare have higher CEs than smaller culture areas and smaller or larger stocking densities. The use of sand shrimp, white shrimp, kuruma shrimp, and grass shrimp for polyculture and the use of milkfish and silver sea bream for polyculture are both associated with high CEs.The hard clam is one of the main types of shellfish cultured in Taiwan, and its output is highest among cultured shellfish. With an output of 34,755 MT in 2013, Yunlin County is the primary producer of hard clams in Taiwan: Yunlin contains the largest culture area in Taiwan, produces almost 60% of Taiwan's hard clam supply and yields output values as high as 77.25 million USD. Hard clam cultivation has become a 1 Correspondence to: jmlee866@yahoo.com.tw main source of income for the fishermen of Yunlin County.In the past, most Yunlin hard clam farms relied on monoculture. However, the growth of hard clam output has resulted in decreases in the price of hard clams in recent years. Consequently, farms must continuously increase the cost efficiency (CE) of hard clam culture to reduce costs and increase profits. improves the ecosystem balance of the culture ponds by reducing the quantity and precipitates of organic matter in the culture ponds (Smith 1985;Smith and Piedrahita 1988;Shpigel and Blaylock 1991;Yokoyama et al. 2002;Nhan 2007;Martinez-Porchas et al. 2010). Taiwan's hard clam farms primarily co-culture hard clams with milkfish, grass shrimp, sand shrimp, white shrimp, and kuruma shrimp. Recent increases in the demand for shrimp have increased the price of shrimp, which has prompted hard clam farms to increase the quantity of shrimp species in polyculture operations.Previous studies have successively researched the culture growth rate, culture environment factors, and disease control for the polyculture of shrimp, fish, and mollusk species (McLarney 1976;Costa-Pierce et al. 1984;Lui 1989;Zhang and Wang 1990;Lui et al. 1992;Chang et al. 1994;Yu et al. 1996;Handå et al. 2012). The polyculture of freshwater prawns and fishes is feasible in the USA (Buck et al. 1981;Costa-Pierce et al. 1984;Bessa Junior et al. 2012), and shrimp ponds have been used in the USA to overwinter c...
