Growth performance and proximate composition of Penaeus vannamei reared in low-salinity water with different ionic compositions in a synbiotic system

Penaeus vannamei inland farming: Perspectives and opinions

“…Dozens of authors have confirmed the ability of P. vannamei to adapt to low salinity conditions, demonstrating remarkable results in terms of growth and survival 13,14,27–34 . As a recent example, Pimentel et al 20 and de Oliveira et al 35 demonstrated that the dilution of seawater in freshwater (salinity ~2.5 g L −1 ) did not compromise the adaptation of post‐larvae to these culture conditions and did not limit P. vannamei juvenile production at a high stocking density (2000 shrimp m −3 ).…”

“…[23][24][25][26] Dozens of authors have confirmed the ability of P. vannamei to adapt to low salinity conditions, demonstrating remarkable results in terms of growth and survival. 13,14,[27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34] As a recent example, Pimentel et al 20 and de Oliveira et al 35 demonstrated that the dilution of seawater in freshwater (salinity $2.5 g L À1 ) did not compromise the adaptation of post-larvae to these culture conditions and did not limit P. vannamei juvenile production at a high stocking density (2000 shrimp m À3 ). De Moura et al 36 found that the inclusion of 3% seawater in an intensive nursery (1000 shrimp m À3 ) provided acceptable survival (>90%), suggesting this strategy could be employed to mitigate the effects of ionic imbalance in low salinity water.…”
