Growth, survival, and immune potential of post larvae of Indian white shrimp, Penaeus indicus (H. Milne Edwards, 1937) in different salinities with biofloc system (BFT) during nursery phase

Biofloc culture system is an eco-friendly method, because it limits the water usage and effluent discharge to the surrounding environment. The present study aimed to investigate immune potential, growth, and survival of Indian white shrimp Penaeus indicus , post larvae in the biofloc technology (BFT...

Description
Summary:Biofloc culture system is an eco-friendly method, because it limits the water usage and effluent discharge to the surrounding environment. The present study aimed to investigate immune potential, growth, and survival of Indian white shrimp Penaeus indicus , post larvae in the biofloc technology (BFT) with C:N ratio of 15:1 during nursery phase in different salinities (5‰, 15‰, 25‰, 30‰, and 35‰). Experiments were conducted in triplicate in 100-L-reinforced fiber plastic (FRP) tanks, and P. indicus (post larvae 10) were stocked at the density of 120 numbers/tank (1.2post larvae/L). The total suspended solid (TSS) level in each biofloc group was maintained at 200–300 mg/L. The results showed that the final biomass and survival in each treatment were significantly higher in biofloc-reared shrimps when compared to clear water culture ( p
