Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
Shrimp polyculture has not been common practice because it is mostly limited to extensive aquaculture systems. A combination of shrimp-fish polyculture and biofloc technology may have the potential to substitute low intensive shrimp polyculture systems. An indoor trial was conducted to investigate whether a biofloc-based co-culture of Litopenaeus vannamei and Mugil cephalus generates synergistic effects at the level of water quality, animal production, and nutrient budgets relative to co-culture and/or biofloc based monoculture. Shrimp (0.50 ± 0.16 g) were randomly distributed in 12 fiberglass tanks (5 m3) at a density of 80 shrimp.m-3. Six tanks were operated as shrimp monoculture either without biofloc (M-only) or with bioflocs (M-biofloc). The other six tanks were operated as polyculture (Mugil cephalus size of 1.51 ± 0.02 g added at 10% stocking density of the shrimp biomass) either without biofloc (P-only) or with biofloc (P-biofloc). The results showed that water quality parameters, such as total ammonia nitrogen (TAN), nitrite, nitrate, phosphate were significantly lower in M-biofloc and P-biofloc than in other treatments (p<0.001). There were synergistic effects (reduction) at the level of N waste output but not for P waste output by applying polyculture in combination with biofloc technology. Total animal production was significantly higher in P-only and P-biofloc (4252 and 4425 g.tank-1, respectively) relative to the respective monocultures. These polyculture treatments were also lower in feed conversion ratio (1.18 and 1.07, respectively) than in M-only and M-biofloc. Yet no synergistic effects were noticed by combining polyculture with bioflocs. The data seems to indicate that mullet is not an efficient biofloc consumer. Analysis of DGGE bacterial profile illustrated a dynamic microbial community structure in the water column and considerable difference in microbial community structures among treatments. It is concluded that the combination of shrimp-fish polyculture and biofloc has additive effects at the level of animal production and synergistic effects at the level of some water quality parameters. |
