Aquaculture is still in early development in Madagascar and Tanzania, while in Indonesia, aquaculture has a long history. In Madagascar, villagers are farming seaweed and sea cucumbers, as part of small-scale community-based aquaculture (CBA). They followed a contractual model between a private farming company and farmers. Local non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and public institutions in Madagascar jointly strive to reverse the trend of ongoing anthropogenic coastal degradation. In Tanzania, the cultivation of red seaweeds has been established for over 30 years, with declining production attributed to climate change. While shrimp farming still involves, to some extent, clearing of mangroves in Tanzania, seaweed culture has only mild impact on coastal ecosystems. Farming areas provide shelter and habitat for juvenile fish, crabs and other organisms. Therefore, NGOs ask for support to improve culture methods. Various problems and shortcomings in Indonesia have been clearly identified, including issues related to new aquaculture areas, pollutants, emerging diseases, insufficient broodstock and fry supply, as well as a lack of technology and manpower. To address these challenges and ensure the growth of aquaculture production, the government has implemented national policies and established training and broodstock centers throughout the country. In Madagascar, the CBA programme stands out as a success story and can serve as a template for other coastal regions and countries. In Tanzania, adoption of the CBA model for co-culture could be the future. In Indonesia, due to a very long coastlines and complicated legislation, IMTA seems to be particularly suitable, as successfully tested in model regions.

“…Ge et al (2019) demonstrated that the integration of L. vannamei (500 shrimp m -3 ) and green seaweed Ulva prolifera (800 mg L -1 ) with 10% water exchange improve the water quality and enhance shrimp growth. Contreras-Sillero et al (2020) showed that polyculture of L. vannamei and sea cucumber Holothuria inornata in a BFT based recirculation system was feasible, and this system provide the excellent growth, survival and productivity.…”

Shrimp aquaculture plays the key role in Bangladesh seafood export industry. It includes the species of Tiger prawn Penaeus monodon, and Giant river prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii, which have been widely farmed after 1980s. The industry is severely damaged due to diseases outbreaks in hatcheries, nurseries and grow-out ponds since 2000, thus this sector shows shrinkage from global export market. However, the last few decades an alternate aquaculture decapod species, Whiteleg shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei has been recognized as the most important in world-seafood export item. Bangladesh aquaculture has very recently been introduced with the Whiteleg shrimp L. vannamei for shrimp production boost up. This review focusses on the current state of arts for L. vannamei aquaculture techniques and their possible implication to farming in Bangladesh. Recently, several Whiteleg shrimp pilot scale farming were initiated which showed promising production ranged from 5.0 to 8.9 MT/ha. Private entrepreneurs now become interested and it is perceived that the Whiteleg shrimp could gear up shrimp production in near future in terms of better production performance, technology development and extension work besides other indigenous culture-shrimp species. By introducing this shrimp, we forecast that, depending upon the technology adoption in present culture areas, the export frozen seafood earnings from shrimp sector will increase up to 5 to 10 folds from the present. Thus, proper understanding and knowledge based innovative approach for its sustainable rapid extension and strategies is in need. This review suggests the regional reproducible pilot culture program for hatchery, nursery and grow-out under controlled environment ensuring better footprint and low residues impact to natural aquatic systems. Adaptive research should be initiated to develop intensive or super-intensive culture techniques besides the traditional practices in the selected confined areas. The pond culture, biofloc farming, aquamimicry farming and green water raceways could be excellent options for L. vannamei culture in Bangladesh. Bangladesh J. Zool. 50 (2): 143-184, 2022

“…Polyculture of shrimp with sea cucumber ( Holothuria inornata ) in a biofloc system also revealed a satisfactory yield without influencing the survival of H . inornata (Contreras‐Sillero et al, 2020). The giant freshwater prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii is an excellent candidate for polyculture systems.…”

This study was conducted to assess the compatibility of white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei and giant freshwater prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii in the polyculture system. Twelve 0.6 ha intertidal mudflat ponds of shrimp in the region around Hangzhou Bay, China, were divided into four culture systems based on the stocking densities of prawns. The groups were divided into the following: control (CON, no prawn), low stocking density (LSD, 75,000 ha−1), middle stocking density (MSD, 150,000 ha−1) and high stocking density (HSD, 225,000 ha−1) groups. Results showed that the survival (%), final weight, final length and condition factor of reared shrimp exhibited no significant difference among different culture systems. The profits of the polyculture systems significantly increased with prawn stocking density. The mean values of water quality parameters showed no significant difference (p > 0.05) between treatments. Phytoplankton abundance and biomass were significantly reduced in the polyculture groups. Desulforegula (9.39%), Citreicella (4.23%), Gemmobacter (3.66%) and Phycisphaera (2.93%) were the prevailing genera in the CON group. Aeromonas was the most abundant genus in the HSD group. However, most pathogenic bacteria in the pond water were undetected or observed at extremely low levels. The levels of Aeromonas and Pseudomonas sharply increased in the HSD group. These findings suggest that polyculture systems can increase profit without influencing water quality. However, high polyculture at 225,000 ind ha−1 may potentially cause pathogenic bacterial infection. Thus, the recommended model for this polyculture system is shrimp (900,000 ha−1) + prawn (150,000 ha−1).
