Sponge biocarriers can maintain low levels of ammonia, nitrite and suspended solids for white shrimp in zero-water-exchange production systems.

Authors evaluated how limiting dietary essential amino acids and long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids would affect the growth performance of white shrimp raised in a zero-water-exchange biofloc system. The shrimp were fed diets with varied levels of fishmeal and fish oil and supplemented with soy products.
