The effects of four different ionic composition low salinity water
(T1, T2, T3, and T4), on growth and survival of Litopenaeus vannamei marine shrimp juveniles were investigated. Shrimp culture
in seawater (Tm) was used as control treatment. The results indicated that there were no significant difference (P < 0.05) in growth,
survival, production, and feed conversion ratio (FCR) of L. vannamei juveniles reared in the different treatments, but significant
differences (P < 0.05) were observed between each of them when
compared with seawater (Tm). After 84 days, culture shrimp grew
from 0.02 to 7.58 g in T1. The lowest growth rate was attained in T3
(0.57 g/week), in which potassium and calcium ions concentrations were the lowest (0.58 and 28.00 mg/L, respectively). The
recorded survival rate (76.35% to 79.55%) is considered well for
We would like to thank the Consejo Estatal de Ciencia y Tecnología de Sinaloa (CECYTSinaloa 2005) and the Instituto Politécnico Nacional (SIP-20050235) for providing funds for
this research. The authors would like to extend thanks to the Aquapacific Hatchery for
providing L. vannamei postlarvae.
