“…Aquaculture wastewater has been applied for irrigation of agricultural crops (McIntosh and Fitzsimmons, 2003;Miranda et al, 2008), fertilization of halophytes (Brown and Glenn, 1999), and production of microbial flocs (also known as bioflocs) used as a dietary food source (Kuhn and Boardman, 2008;Kuhn et al, 2009Kuhn et al, , 2010. These and other studies have reported that microbial flocs can serve as a nutrient source for marine shrimp and other farmed species (Burford et al, 2004;Ju et al, 2008;Azim and Little, 2008;Crab et al, 2010;Bauer et al, 2012;Hende et al, 2014).…”

-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.

“…Higher water demand is expected for planting on September 1, so more irrigation water will be required in October, the month of which more evapotranspiration occurs in the region. However, as the standard deviation decreases, less spatial variability is predicted across the region in the future ( In a study in Russas -CE, which is located in the study area, MIRANDA et al, (2008) observed that the application of 252 mm water during an irrigated melon crop cycle promoted a yield of 25.000 kg ha -1 . This water quantity is more similar to that estimated for August planting by the Eta/CPTEC/HadCM3 model for 1961 to 1990 time slice (179 a 219 mm), and for the projections of September (239 a 243 mm).…”

“…A similar method was used by SENTELHAS et al (2010) and ROCHA et al (2011). Table 1 shows melon crop coefficient, development stage, and number of days after planting (DAP), as well as the crop factor, accordingly to MIRANDA et al (2008). Once CWN is equal to the crop evapotranspiration (ETc), irrigation water needs (IWN) is the CWN divided by irrigation efficiency, so that we accounted for the water losses by evaporation, runoff, and soil leaching.…”

Climate Change Impacts on Water Demand of Melon Plants in Jaguaribe-Apodi Region, Brazil

et al. 2017

ABSTRACT:The aim of this study was to evaluate the impacts of climate change on irrigation water demand of melon plants grown in Jaguaribe-Apodi Irrigation District (DIJA), which is located between the states of Ceará and Rio Grande do Norte, in Northeastern Brazil. Future scenarios were developed using the Eta-CPTEC/HadCM3 climate change projections, after being submitted to downscaling method. We used a set of climate data from the same model for the period of 1961 through 1990, and further projections after bias correction. Local geographic coordinates were interpolated using GIS techniques. Reference evapotranspiration (ETo) was estimated from the monthly minimum and maximum mean temperatures, using a limited data method. The rainfall, temperature, ETo, and water demand future projections were mapped for the area of investigation to analyze spatial variability. ETA model simulations for climatic change showed growth in irrigation water demands due to evapotranspiration increase (from 28.4% to 33.4%), even though rainfall increases (between 61.9% and 89.9%). The increase in the average gross water demand is varied from 37.5% to 78.2% within the period of 2031 to 2060, respective to the common planting season.

“…Effluents of shrimp farming have been tested in the irrigation of some plants, such as rice in Thailand (Flaherty et al, 2000), olive trees in the United States (McIntosh & Fitszimmons, 2003) and melon and forage in Brazil (Miranda et al, 2008); thus, the potential of shrimp farming effluent for use in agricultural irrigation has been demonstrated. In these three cases, the crops were sown directly in soil, which did not allow better management of water and shrimp production, and data were not presented.…”

ABSTRACT. The aim of this study was to evaluate the production of an aquaponic culture of white shrimp (Penaeus vannamei) and basil (Ocimum basilicum) using two sources of low-salinity water (1.7 g L ), no significant differences (P > 0.05) were found for the final individual weight, survival, growth rate and feed conversion ratio between DSW and GW, whereas for basil, lower yields were found with DSW. No significant differences in the basil production between the control and the treatment GW were found. Feed consumption per kg of total harvested basil was significantly lower (P < 0.05) in GW treatment, while for feed intake in the shrimp farming, where no significant differences were found (P > 0.05). The aquaponic culture of shrimp and basil using these two types of low-salinity water sources showed promising results. The estimates of both crop yields were compared with those recorded in the literature and for commercial field crops from northwest Mexico.
