“…The weight gain and SGR results obtained in the D50 treatment in this study were found to be superior to those recorded during the nursery stage in longarm river prawns (Vega‐Villasante et al 2011; Peña‐Herrejón et al 2019) and giant freshwater prawns (Langer et al 2011; Negrini et al 2017; Avillanosa et al 2019) in various other culture systems. The FCR was lower than that recorded in the nursery phase for longarm river prawns (Peña‐Herrejón et al 2019) and giant freshwater prawns (Negrini et al 2017), whereas the FCE was observed to be higher than that reported in other studies with peneid shrimp (Serrano and Declarador 2014). However, estimation of FCR and FCE were affected by the study system because uneaten feed was not recovered and the production of plankton and periphyton was not quantified, thereby causing an over‐ and underestimation of these parameters.…”

“…In terms of the intensification of culture for freshwater prawns, stocking density and culture strategies are the main factors that contribute to estimating production and survival at this higher level of culture intensity because the majority of growth performance parameters tend to be critical under these factors (Sanchez‐Zazueta et al 2013). Studies on the effect of stocking density in freshwater prawn culture have been carried out in coconut garden channels (Ranjeet and Kurup 2011), circular tubs (Langer et al 2011), fiberglass tanks (Banu et al 2016), aquarium (Costa and Arruda 2016), earthen ponds (Paul et al 2016; Chowdhury et al 2017), biofloc systems (Negrini et al 2017), and net cage–concrete pond systems (Avillanosa et al 2019) for the giant freshwater prawn. The highest productions were observed in densities ranging from 1.5 to 3.0 prawns/m 2 in semi‐intensive systems and from 5 to 50 prawns/m 2 in intensive systems.…”

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of stocking density on growth performance, survival, feeding efficiency, and size distribution of the freshwater, longarm river prawn Macrobrachium tenellum during the nursery phase of intensive culture in a net cage–pond system. Juvenile longarm river prawns (mean weight = 0.46 g) were cultured in 12 net cages (1 m3) within two circular ponds (20.52 m3 each) at stocking densities of 50, 100, 200, and 400 prawns/m3. Final length, final body weight, weight gain, growth rate, and specific growth rate were found to be significantly better at a stocking density of 50 prawns/m3. A greater variation of sizes was observed at the density of 50 prawns/m3, with less in the highest density (400 prawns/m3). The results of the study showed that longarm river prawns in the nursery phase can be cultivated with a stocking density of 100 prawns/m3 to obtain a mean final weight of 1.6 g. This is the minimum size needed to obtain a high survival rate in the grow‐out stage in ponds. However, the best growth performance and survival were registered in the densities of 50 and 100 prawns/m3.

“…The BFT is being practised in semi-intensive commercial shrimp grow-out ponds and also in super-intensive tank and raceway systems, with a production of over 9 kg shrimp m À3 (Taw 2010). Shrimp survival, growth performance and health status generally decrease with increasing stocking density, as reported for white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei (Wasielesky et al 2013;Liu et al 2017) and freshwater prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii (Negrini et al 2017). This has been attributed mainly to increased competition for the space and food sources, cannibalism and instability in water quality (Abdussamad & Thampy 1994;Arnold et al 2005).…”

In face of the shortage of, and competition with, land and water, the sustainability of aquaculture will have to depend on vertical development, through improving production environments, increasing productivity and enhancing aquaculture technologies. Biofloc technology (BFT) has emerged as new alternative for sustainable aquaculture, which could contribute to FAO Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) related to food security. Extensive research has been carried out on the development and application of BFT in aquaculture since early 1990s, with emphasis on shrimp culture. Over 40% of BFT publications in aquaculture were directed to shrimp farming. Therefore, I strongly believe that the accumulated knowledge on the applications of BFT in shrimp farming and the experience gained, especially during the last 10 years (2010–2020), are now more than worthy of critical review and analysis. This review summarizes the most update knowledge on the use of BFT in different marine shrimp and freshwater prawn aquaculture. Emphasis has been on factors affecting shrimp production in BFT systems, integration of biofloc‐based shrimp farming with other aquatic farmed species, nutritional value of bioflocs as a natural food or feed ingredient for farmed shrimp and prawn, the application of BFT in different rearing phases, the use of biofloc as a natural probiotics and their effects on shrimp health and physiological functions, economic considerations and commercial applications of BFT‐based shrimp aquaculture, and the major challenges facing shrimp farming in biofloc systems.

“…This fact was observed in the present study; our results showed that M. amazonicum individual mass had a slight reduction at the 120 shrimps treatment differing significantly (P < 0.05) of 40 shrimps treatment. In crowded conditions, conflicting results were observed in others species suggesting that in shrimps, the intraspecific competition has important paper and can influence the regulation of population, but it does not affect the weight and growth performance (El-Sherif and Mervat 2009;Paul et al 2016;Negrini et al 2017).…”

Aquaponics is a science that integrates animal aquatic production with vegetable culture in recirculating water systems. The performance of an aquaponics system using constructed semi-dry wetland with lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) planted on treating wastewater of culture of shrimp Macrobrachium amazonicum was evaluated. Each aquaponics module consisted in four culture tanks (1 m 3 tank −1), conical sedimentation tank (0.1 m 3), circular holding tank (0.2 m 3), and constructed semi-dry wetland (0.2 m × 1.0 m × 4.0 m). Post larvae (PL) shrimps with an initial average mass of 314 ± 4.75 mg were stocked at density treatments in quadruplicate: (A) 40 shrimps m −2 , (B) 80 shrimps m −2 , and (C) 120 shrimps m −2. Our results showed the average final mass of shrimps had a slight reduction at the density 80 and 120 shrimps. However, it did not differ significantly between the treatments. The ultimate survival and productivity were higher in density 80 and 120 shrimps. The maximum biomass productivity occurred at the treatment with density 120 shrimps. The aquaponics recirculation system using constructed semi-dry wetlands with lettuce adequately treated the water at the densities tested. Various water quality parameters were deemed suitable for shrimp culture, but for lettuce not, especially the temperature. The shrimp density was inappropriate which limited the system to accumulate and increase the concentration of nutrients to vegetables with lessening the yield. Nonetheless, the system with higher density has higher nutrient content that plants demonstrated significantly better growth and yield. The results showed the potential use of organics waste generated in a family lettuce hydroponic production, but for a commercial production is indicated supplementation with nutrients like calcium, magnesium, and potassium in the water.
