Halophyte and bivalve-based integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA): effect on growth, water quality, digestive and antioxidant enzymes of Penaeus monodon and Chanos chanos reared in brackishwater ponds
The present study investigated the integration of halophytes in IMTA as extractive species on the water quality, growth, digestive, and antioxidant activity of Penaeus monodon and Chanos chanos in earthen ponds for 120 days. The experimental setup consisted of three treatments: control (C) and two d...

Summary: | The present study investigated the integration of halophytes in IMTA as extractive species on the water quality, growth, digestive, and antioxidant activity of
Penaeus monodon
and
Chanos chanos
in earthen ponds for 120 days. The experimental setup consisted of three treatments: control (C) and two different halophyte-based IMTA treatments, T1 and T2, randomly assigned to nine earthen ponds (200 m
−2
) in three replicates. All treatments were uniformly stocked with
P. monodon
(Post larve 12) and
C. chanos
(13.4–14 g
)
; in addition to these, T1 had
Avicennia officinalis
and
Meretrix casta
and T2 had
Bruguiera gymnorhiza
and
Meretrix casta
as extractive species. The average final body weights of
P. monodon
(32.01 ± 0.27 g) and
C. chanos
(94.18 ± 1 g) were found in the
A. officinalis
based IMTA treatment (T1). T1 also had shown a significant (
