Effect of Salinity on Nursery Bi‐Culture of Pacific White Leg Shrimp ( Litopenaeus vannamei ) and Giant Prawn ( Macrobrachium rosenbergii ) in a Biofloc System
2025
Overview
The current study was carried out to examine the effects of four different experimental salinities (T 1 = 0‰, T 2 = 5‰, T 3 = 10‰, and T 4 = 15‰) on growth, water quality, proximate composition, total bacterial (TB), and hemocyte counts of white leg shrimp ( Litopenaeus vannamei ) and giant prawn ( Macrobrachium rosenbergii ) in biofloc based nursery bi‐culture system for 6 weeks. A total of 12 cylindrical plastic tanks (125 L) filled up 100 L water for rearing L. vannamei and M. rosenbergii post‐larvae (PLs) at an equal ratio: (50 L. vannamei : 50 M. rosenbergii ). At the end of the experiment, for L. vannamei , the significantly higher ( p < 0.05) growth rate was recorded in T 4 (15‰) compared to the other treatments. For M. rosenbergii , a significantly higher ( p < 0.05) growth rate was recorded in T 2 (5‰) than in other treatments. Similar to growth, the best ( p < 0.05) feed conversion ratio (FCR) for ‐ L. vannamei was found at T 4 (15‰) while it was at T 2 (5‰) for M. rosenbergii . Gross return, net profit, and benefit–cost ratio (BCR) analysis revealed higher profit T 4 (15‰) than T 3 (10‰), T 2 (5‰), and T 1 (0‰). TB counts were found to be significantly greater ( p < 0.05) in T 4 than other treatments. Hemocyte counts for L. vannamei were significantly higher ( p < 0.05) in T 4 (15‰) than T 3 (10‰), T 2 (5‰), and T 1 (0‰) and for M. rosenbergii hemocyte was significantly higher ( p < 0.05) in T 1 (0‰) than T 2 (5 ‰), T 3 (10 ‰), and T 4 (15‰). Therefore, it can be suggested that 15‰ salinity will be the best condition for the nursery bi‐culture of white leg shrimp ( L. vannamei ) and giant prawn ( M. rosenbergii ) in the biofloc system.
