“…Although a direct comparison cannot be made, production characteristics of this study agree with those reported by Weirich et al (2006) for Florida pompano reared at a salinity of 23-28%. While limited research has been conducted to investigate the possibility of rearing marine species at low salinities, studies conducted thus far have shown that production and survival can be enhanced via maintenance of critical ions, including calcium, magnesium, and potassium (Forsberg and Neill 1997;Atwood et al 2003;Cheng et al 2005Cheng et al , 2006. In the present study, sulfate, potassium, and magnesium concentrations approximated levels expected from diluted natural seawater, while calcium levels were amended and maintained at a level that approximated the concentration expected at a salinity of 15% (Spotte 1979).…”

The effect of culture density on production characteristics and body composition of Florida pompano Trachinotus carolinus reared to market size using recirculating aquaculture systems (RASs) maintained at a salinity of 5% was evaluated in a 110-d growth trial (water temperature ¼ 27.0-28.58C). Juvenile Florida pompano (mean weight 6 SE ¼ 259.0 6 3.0 g) were stocked into two tanks from each of four separate RASs at an initial nominal density of 6.5 (low density) or 13.0 kg/m 3 (high density), equivalent to 200 and 400 fish/tank, respectively. After stocking, fish were fed a 4.7-mm, floating pelleted diet (50% protein, 14% lipid) twice daily at a targeted daily feed rate of 3% body weight per day. At stocking and at 3week intervals thereafter, 10% of the fish population of each tank was sampled to determine production characteristics, including mean weight, weight gain, specific growth rate, absolute growth rate (AGR), feed conversion efficiency (FCE), biomass, and survival. At termination, fish in all tanks were harvested to determine production characteristics and samples were obtained to determine whole-body composition, energy retention, protein efficiency ratio (PER), protein productive value (PPV), hepatosomatic index, gonadosomatic index, and fillet yield. Results indicated that final weight (570.0 g), weight gain (312.7 g), AGR (2.8 g/d), FCE (25.5%), PER (0.54), and PPV (11.5%) of fish reared at high density were significantly lower than those of fish reared at low density. No differences were observed between density treatments with respect to other measured variables. Additional studies must focus on the development of finishing diets for final stages of Florida pompano production to increase FCE and to determine optimal rearing densities. In addition, research to evaluate the potential of rearing pompano in RASs at salinities lower than 5%, perhaps through environmental or dietary enhancement of critical ions, is warranted.

“…This holds the chance to choose appropriate halophyte species for different conditions and applications. For example several marine organisms or their developmental stages can be cultured at lower salinities than full strength seawater (Forsberg and Neill, 1997;Atwood et al, 2003). Hence, the salinity of the culture water and the halophyte species should be chosen carefully for a maximum benefit from both, fish and plant culture (Buhmann and Papenbrock, 2013a).…”

“…The production of marine shrimp in inland waters is more economically viable than marine shrimp culture in coastal zones due to the high cost of land and the strict environmental protection legislation in these coastal regions (Atwood et al, 2003). In addition, the inland culture of marine shrimp allows the shrimp farms to be located at a distance from potentially contaminated coastal waters (Moya et al, 1999).…”

Effect of salinity on performance and body composition of Pacific white shrimp juveniles reared in a super-intensive system

-The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of salinity on the culture water quality, performance and body composition of Litopenaeus vannamei juveniles (1.16±0.30 g) reared for 36 days in a super-intensive system without water exchange at salinities of 4, 16 and 32‰. Groups of 200 animals (140/m 2 ) were stocked, with three replicates, in nine fiber-cement tanks (1.11 × 1.29 × 0.70 m) with a useful volume of 400 L. Physical and chemical parameters of water, such as temperature and dissolved oxygen before and after midday, pH, alkalinity, total suspended solids, total ammonium nitrogen, nitrite, nitrate, and phosphate, were monitored. Performance parameters like survival, weight gain, specific growth rate, feed conversion ratio and protein retention rate, were also evaluated. The proximate composition of the juveniles was analyzed through the moisture, protein, lipid and ash contents. The physical and chemical parameters of the water were influenced by the treatments. The increased salinity produced a significant increase in the alkalinity and the concentrations of total suspended solids, nitrite and phosphate. Of the parameters that were examined to evaluate the performance and proximate composition of the shrimp, only survival, protein retention rate and body lipid content were significantly influenced. The highest values were found at a salinity of 32‰. However, the analysis of the proximate composition of the bioflocs showed that the moisture, protein and lipid contents increased as the salinity decreased. Growth, use of feed and survival of L. vannamei juveniles reared in a super-intensive system without water exchange is positively influenced by an increase of salinity from 4 to 32‰.
