Reducing the feed input per unit of plant area as a means to improve the efficiency of sea asparagus and Pacific white shrimp biofloc technology‐based aquaponics
Abstract:This study aimed to evaluate different feeding rate ratios in a biofloc technologybased aquaponics system employing sea asparagus (Sarcocornia ambigua) and Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) in an 83-day experiment. Two treatments were evaluated: 100 and 50 g feed m −2 day −1 , which were achieved by doubling the plant production area from 0.4 m 2 to 0.8 m 2 . Shrimps (1.39 g ± 0.06 g) were reared under an initial density of 250 animals m −3 in 800 L polyethylene tanks, while the plants were cultivate… Show more
