Water quality and growth, immunity, and intestinal flora of shrimp Penaeus vannamei in the industrial farming system with bagasse bioflocs
摘要
Driven by growing environmental awareness, water-saving technologies in aquaculture are receiving increasing attention. To develop a novel water-saving shrimp farming technology, we constructed a biofloc system (BF group) using bagasse as the core material, with a conventional water-exchange system serving as the control (CK group). A 42-d farming experiment of shrimp Penaeus vannamei in production scale was conducted to evaluate the water quality control effect of bagasse biofloc and its effects on the growth performance, body composition, immunity and intestinal flora of P. vannamei. Results indicate that the cumulative water exchange of BF group was 36.92% lower than that of CK group, and the water consumption per kg shrimp production was reduced by 24.03%. The concentration of total ammonia nitrogen (TAN) in BF group was significantly lower than that in CK group, whereas the concentrations of NO
