“…In this way, NH 3 accumulates in juveniles, thus altering their growth and causing death. Similar explanations were put forward by Mallasen and Valenti (2005) for larval development and survival of the giant river prawn M. rosenbergii at different NH 3 concentrations. Straus et al .…”

“…Mallasen and Valenti (2005) reported significantly lower survival rates (0–20%) of M. rosenbergii larvae at total ammonia concentrations from 1 to 8 mg L −1 (0.43–3.41 mg L −1 of non‐ionized ammonia) in pH 9, although the weight gain (1.572–2.931 mg range) of larvae did not differ among the different ammonia concentrations. Straus, Robinette and Heinen (1991) studied the toxic effect of non‐ionized ammonia (NH 3 ) on post‐larval and early juvenile of M. rosenbergii and reported that early juveniles (around 0.5 g size) were more tolerant of high NH 3 than postlarvae.…”

Survival rate, growth and feed intake were determined for late juveniles (4.31 ± 0.18 g) of river prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii in freshwater with total ammonia‐N (NH3‐N+NH4‐N) concentrations of 0.015 (control), 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 mg L−1 for 60 days at pH 7.53 ± 0.04 and temperature 24.0 ± 2.5°C. Survival rate was significantly (P<0.05) lower (54 ± 4.2–70 ± 5.4%) for total ammonia concentrations from 0.5 to 1.5 mg L−1 [0.0139–0.0419 mg L−1 of unionized ammonia (NH3)]. Growth (0.026–0.030 g day−1 range) of the prawns did not differ for the different NH3 levels but were significantly (P<0.05) lower compared with control (0.056 g day−1). Feed intake rates also diminished significantly (P<0.05) from 77.60 ± 2.45% at control (0.015 mg L−1 NH3‐N) to 48.69 ± 2.13% at 1.5 mg L−1 NH3‐N (0.0419 mg L−1 of unionized NH3).

“…). The levels of ammonia and nitrite remained below the lethal concentration, 0.5 and 0.1 mg L −1 , respectively (Mallasen & Valenti , ). This suggests that recirculating systems provided with large crushed mollusc shell biofilters (~25% the volume of the rearing hatchery tank) may support an intensification of at least 140 larvae L −1 without affecting water quality.…”

Intensification of the Giant river prawnMacrobrachium rosenbergiihatchery production

We evaluated the effect of intensification on Macrobrachium rosenbergii hatchery in clear water recirculating system. Larvae were raised in 120-L cylindrical tanks coupled with 30-L biofilters. We performed two experiments in randomized blocks.In the first, we tested the stocking densities of 50, 70 and 90 newly hatched larvae L À1 . Survival did not differ by ANOVA (P = 0.343), but productivity increased with the intensification (P = 0.038). In the second experiment, we tested the stocking densities of 80, 100, 120 and 140 newly hatched larvae L À1 . Survival decreased (P = 0.039) as density increased, but productivity did not differ (P = 0.317). The period of culture ranged from 22 to 23 days. The intensification did not influence water quality parameters or larval development. Survival decreased with the intensification and the space showed to be a limiting factor on tanks stocked with 90 larvae L À1 or more. Productivity curve shows an increase from 50 to 100 larvae L À1 and tended to reach plateau on stocking densities higher than 100 larvae L À1 . In addition, the intensification improved the use of Artemia cysts by decreasing the superfluous feeding. Thus, we recommend stocking of 80 to 100 newly hatched larvae L À1 as the best option for M. rosenbergii hatchery in clear water recirculating system.

“…During the progression of the experiment the NO 3 -N concentrations increased progressively up to 7.6 mg/L, however, it remained well below the toxic levels for M. rosenbergii larval culture [34]. Management of ammonia in the larval rearing systems of M. rosenbergii is important as significantly lower survival rates (0-20%) of larvae were noticed at total ammonia concentrations ranging from 1 to 8 mg/L with 0.43-3.41 mg/L non-ionic ammonia at pH 9 [35]. The higher relative percent survival (22.86%) obtained in the reactor integrated experimental system proved the impact of the technology in enhancing the larval survival.…”

A packed bed bioreactor (PBBR) was developed for rapid establishment of nitrification in brackish water hatchery systems in the tropics. The reactors were activated by immobilizing ammonia-oxidizing (AMON-PCU-1) and nitrite-oxidizing (NIONPCU-1) bacterial consortia on polystyrene and low-density polyethylene beads, respectively. Fluorescence in situ hybridization demonstrated the presence of autotrophic nitrifiers belong to Nitrosococcus mobilis, lineage of b ammonia oxidizers and nitrite oxidizer Nitrobacter sp. in the consortia. The activated reactors upon integration to the hatchery system resulted in significant ammonia removal (P \ 0.01) culminating to its undetectable levels. Consequently, a significantly higher percent survival of larvae was observed in the larval production systems. With spent water the reactors could establish nitrification with high percentage removal of ammonia (78%), nitrite (79%) and BOD (56%) within 7 days of initiation of the process. PBBR is configured in such a way to minimize the energy requirements for continuous operation by limiting the energy inputs to a single stage pumping of water and aeration to the aeration cells. The PBBR shall enable hatchery systems to operate under closed recirculating mode and pave the way for better water management in the aquaculture industry.
