摘要

The study investigated the effects of stocking densities and water flow rates on Litopenaeus vannamei post-larvae (PL) in superintensive pre-nursery systems. A total of 12,960 PL15 (0.55 ± 0.1 mg and 9.0 ± 1.0 mm) were distributed into 27 experimental units with varying water flow rates (100%, 200%, or 300% h−1) and stocking densities (30,000, 60,000, or 90,000 PL m−3). Water quality parameters and growth performance were monitored over 20 days. Results showed temperature increased at 200% flow rate, irrespective of density. Dissolved oxygen (DO) was significantly higher in the 90300 treatment compared to the 60100, 90100, and 90200 treatments. Total ammonia nitrogen (TAN) was significantly lower in the 30200, 60200, and 90200, while nitrite nitrogen (NO2-N) was significantly higher in the 30100, 60100, 60300, 90100, and 90300 treatments. There was a notable interaction (p-value = 0.0459) among the factors specifically for the NO2-N levels. The flow rate factor significantly affected the temperature, DO, TAN, NO2-N, and alkalinity. On the other hand, individually, stocking density significantly affected NO2-N, salinity, and pH levels. Treatment 90100 exhibited a significantly higher (p < 0.05) biomass (19.46 ± 2.64 g) compared to the other treatments. Daily growth coefficient was the same (from 1.13% to 1.33%) among treatments 30100, 30200, 30300, 60100, 60200, 60300, and 90100. Final biomass was significantly higher (p < 0.05) in the 90-density treatment. Overall, high-density (90,000 PL m−3) rearing of L. vannamei PL is feasible in a clear-water RAS system at a 100% h−1 flow rate.
