Juvenile production technology for tiger shrimp, Penaeus monodon, through different stocking density using a recirculation system

Abstract

Aquaculture recirculation technology has evolved in recent years, as it can save water use and maintain good water quality during tiger shrimp fry rearing and ultimately increase juvenile production. The recirculation technology in this experiment is expected to be adopted by small‐scale tiger shrimp seed farmers. This study aims to develop the technology for producing a juvenile tiger shrimp recirculation system to support shrimp cultivation in ponds. The recirculation system container comprises a biofiltration tank filled with oysters, seaweed, and tilapia. Containers to keep tiger shrimp larvae alive in the recirculation system use a round‐shaped container with a volume of 2 m3. Tiger shrimp larvae were cared for at; A. density of 2000 individuals/m2; B. density of 1500 individuals/m2; and C. density of 1000 individuals/m2. This study found that the survival rate of tiger shrimp in treatments C and B were high, reaching 96.800b ± 2.716% and 91.62b ± 3.432%, respectively, while survival in treatment A was the lowest, at 81.700a ± 4.715%.

Horticulture Irrigation Systems and Aquaculture Water Usage: A Perspective for the Use of Aquaponics to Generate a Sustainable Water Footprint

“…The interrelationship between traditional agriculture and aquaculture food production systems are due to the codependency of groundwater resources [104,137]. This water dependency makes it viable to not only increment the water usage of agricultural irrigation systems [138], water recirculation and the use of different filters in aquaculture [139]. Moreover, the combination of these two production methods for a general water footprint optimization [140] Therefore, the incorporation of both production methods into one system, called aquaponics [141], benefits the use of two central resources for human activities, food production and water usage optimization [142].…”
