Health & Welfare
The use of biofloc systems for shrimp culture requires monitoring of water quality parameters, particularly suspended solids levels.
Health & Welfare
Shrimp survival, weight, yield and feed conversion were better in farm units that operated with settling chambers for solids removal than in units without.
Responsibility
A study examined the effects of removing suspended solids using side-stream settling chambers in a superintensive biofloc shrimp system. The chambers reduced nitrate-nitrogen and phosphate concentrations and improved shrimp growth rate and biomass.
