“…Reduction in magnesium causes a reduction in potassium also in the body of shrimp, which was reported earlier in L.vannamei (Davis, Lawrence, & Gatlin, 1992). In addition to this, magnesium deficiency affected the survival and growth performance of post larva and juvenile shrimps (Saoud et al, 2003).…”

“…The quality of inland ground saline water (IGSW) is quite different than natural seawater mainly in ionic composition. Potassium (K + ) concentrations are very low, calcium (Ca 2+ ) levels are high and magnesium (Mg 2+ ) levels are highly variable in inland ground saline water compared to natural sea water at the given salinity (Saoud, Davis, & Rouse, 2003). Potassium is the primary intracellular cation, necessary for the activation of the Na + -K + -ATPase (Mantel & Farmer, 1983) which is a key component of extracellular ionic regulation.…”

“…The Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) is the most widely reared penaeid in the Western Hemisphere (Saoud et al, 2003). Due to its ability to maintain osmotic regulation over a wide range of salinities, this species is capable of inhabiting waters with salinities ranging from 0.5 to 40‰ (Saoud et al, 2003).…”

“…Due to its ability to maintain osmotic regulation over a wide range of salinities, this species is capable of inhabiting waters with salinities ranging from 0.5 to 40‰ (Saoud et al, 2003). However, although L. vannamei juveniles can be successfully reared at salinities of 5 to 35‰ (Ponce-Palafox et al, 1997), the salinity range considered ideal for the culture of the species is from 15 to 25‰ (Boyd, 1989).…”

-The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of salinity on the culture water quality, performance and body composition of Litopenaeus vannamei juveniles (1.16±0.30 g) reared for 36 days in a super-intensive system without water exchange at salinities of 4, 16 and 32‰. Groups of 200 animals (140/m 2 ) were stocked, with three replicates, in nine fiber-cement tanks (1.11 × 1.29 × 0.70 m) with a useful volume of 400 L. Physical and chemical parameters of water, such as temperature and dissolved oxygen before and after midday, pH, alkalinity, total suspended solids, total ammonium nitrogen, nitrite, nitrate, and phosphate, were monitored. Performance parameters like survival, weight gain, specific growth rate, feed conversion ratio and protein retention rate, were also evaluated. The proximate composition of the juveniles was analyzed through the moisture, protein, lipid and ash contents. The physical and chemical parameters of the water were influenced by the treatments. The increased salinity produced a significant increase in the alkalinity and the concentrations of total suspended solids, nitrite and phosphate. Of the parameters that were examined to evaluate the performance and proximate composition of the shrimp, only survival, protein retention rate and body lipid content were significantly influenced. The highest values were found at a salinity of 32‰. However, the analysis of the proximate composition of the bioflocs showed that the moisture, protein and lipid contents increased as the salinity decreased. Growth, use of feed and survival of L. vannamei juveniles reared in a super-intensive system without water exchange is positively influenced by an increase of salinity from 4 to 32‰.

“…Potassium deficient groundwater is suitable for culture of penaeids if the water or the feed is fortified with K + [26,[44][45][46][47][48][49]. However, the benefit of feeding K + to shrimp also appears equivocal as some authors have shown that shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei reared in artificial seawater, where the [K + ] of water and feeds were varied, did not gain any substantial benefit from K + fortified feed [8].…”

This study was done to determine if fortification of a commercial aquafeed with KCl could improve the survival of juvenile Australian snapper Pagrus auratus reared in K + deficient saline groundwater (KDSGW; <5 mg K + L −1 ). Experiment 1 (Exp. 1) tested whether feeding an aquafeed fortified with zero, 25, or 50 g KCl kg −1 for 6 days affected feed intake and survival of fish transferred immediately from estuarine water to KDSGW of the equivalent salinity (20 g·L −1 ). Experiment 2 (Exp. 2) investigated whether an aquafeed fortified with zero, 10, or 25 g KCl kg −1 affected survival, feed intake, and growth rate (SGR) of snapper reared in KDSGW fortified to have 40% or 100% the [K + ] of equivalent salinity estuarine water (20 g·L −1 ). The results of Exp. 1 demonstrated there was no benefit of fortifying aquafeed with KCl; fish transferred into KDSGW stopped feeding and developed symptoms akin to tetany. Some individuals also died and others became moribund. Exp. 1 was terminated according to animal care and ethics guidelines. The results of Exp. 2 indicated the amount of KCl added to the aquafeed did not affect survival, feed intake, or food conversion ratio (FCR) of snapper, irrespective of water treatment. However, SGR and FCR was better when fish were reared in normal estuarine water and KDSGW fortified to have 100% the [K + ] of equivalent salinity estuarine water. Our results demonstrated that juvenile snapper were unable to utilize the KCl added to the aquafeed and were probably reliant on sequestering K + ions from the water column in order to maintain functions involving hydromineral homeostasis. Fortification of aquafeeds with KCl does not ameliorate the negative effects of KDSWG on the survival of juvenile snapper.
