Nursery of the pink shrimp Farfantepenaeus paulensis in cages with artificial substrates: Biofilm composition and shrimp performance

The use of artificial substrate (polyethylene screens) was investigated during the nursery rearing of the pink shrimp Farfantepenaeus paulensis cultured in fixed cages installed in a shallow estuarine inlet of the Patos Lagoon, southern Brazil. High water renewal rates during the experimental period kept water quality in the suitable range for penaeid shrimp culture. Although shrimp were fed a high quality artificial diet (40% protein) throughout the experiment, they were observed to occupy the substrates and actively graze on the biofilm. The bulk of the biofilm was composed of diatoms, filamentous cyanobacteria, protozoa and nematodes. Biofilm chlorophyll a concentration was significantly affected by shrimp grazing pressure and the composition of the diatom community suffered significant changes after shrimp introduction to the cages. At the end of the trial shrimp reared in the presence of artificial substrates achieved significant higher survival, growth and total biomass (pb0.05). Biofilm was likely an additional source of food for the reared animals

Effect of biofloc technology (BFT) on the early postlarval stage of pink shrimp Farfantepenaeus paulensis: growth performance, floc composition and salinity stress tolerance

Biofloc rearing media provides a potential food source for shrimp reared in limited or zero water exchange systems. This culture system is environmentally friendly as it is based on limited water use and minimal effluent is released into the surrounding environment. In this study, we evaluated the survival, growth performance and salinity stress tolerance of pink shrimp Farfantepenaeus paulensis postlarvae reared from PL10 to PL25 in a biofloc technology limited water exchange system. PL (mean ± SD weight and length of 14 ± 10 mg and 8.10 ± 0.7 mm, respectively) were reared in nine 40-L plastic tanks with a stocking density of 10PL/L. Three culture treatments were applied (1) culture in the presence of bioflocs and commercial feed supply (FLOC ? CF); (2) culture in the presence of biofloc without feed supply (FLOC) and (3) culture in clear water with feed supply (control). Final biomass and survival were significantly higher in FLOC ? CF treatment than the control (P \ 0.05), but did not differ from FLOC. PL reared in the FLOC ? CF treatment achieved a significantly higher final weight, weight gain and length in comparison with the other two treatments (P \ 0.05). No significant difference(P [ 0.05) between treatments was found for salinity tolerance over 24 and 48 h durations. The proximate analysis of floc shown high levels of crude protein (30.4%), but low levels of crude lipids (0.5%). The continuous availability of bioflocs had a significant effect on growth and survival of F. paulensis postlarvae cultured in BFT nursery systems

At the end of the experiment, there was no significant difference in the survival between treatments, but postlarvae from the treatment with biofilm had a significantly (p<0.05) higher growth than those reared in cages where biofilm attachment was reduced

Efeito da densidade de estocagem sobre o biofilme e o desempenho de pós-larvas do camarão-rosa Farfantepenaeus paulensis cultivadas em gaiolas

O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar a influência da densidade de estocagem na sobrevivência e no crescimento de pós-larvas de F. paulensis cultivadas em gaiolas durante a fase de berçário. Além disso, foram identificados e quantificados os principais microrganismos presentes no biofilme formado nos substratos artificiais colocados dentro das gaiolas. Foram usadas gaiolas com 4 m2 de fundo e com substratos artificiais, nas densidades de 100, 200,300, 400 e 500PL25 m-2. O experimento durou 35 dias. Observou-se uma relação negativa entre o aumento da densidade de estocagem de camarões e a sobrevivência e o crescimento destes. Foi observada uma preferência pelo consumo de diatomáceas cêntricas. A viabilidade técnica do cultivo de F. paulensis em gaiolas foi confirmada. O cultivo de F. paulensis em gaiolas na fase de berçário pode ser feito em densidades de até 400PL m-2, sem maiores perdas em sua sobrevivência e seu crescimento.The aim of this study was to analyze the influence of the stocking density in the survival and growth of Farfantepenaeus paulensis postlarvae reared in cages during the nursery phase. Additionally, widentified and quantified the main microorganisms present on the biofilm formed on artificial substrates placed inside the cages. We used 4 m2 bottom surface cages with artificial substrates and shrimp stocking densities of 100, 200, 300, 400 and 500PL25 m-2. The experiment lasted for 35 days. A negative relationship was observed between the increase of shrimp stocking density and their survival/growth rates. A preference for centric diatoms was also observed. The technical feasibility of culturing F. paulensis in cages was confirmed. The rearing of F. paulensis in nursery cages may be conduced in densities at also 400PL m-2, without more loss in survival and growth
