Growth performance of shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei under different carbon: Nitrogen (C/N) ratios of Bioflocs system


Author(s): Yenukolu Aparna, Shaik Haleema Banafsha and Motireddy Srinivasulu Reddy

Abstract:
A 60 day feeding experimental trails were conducted to evaluate the effect of selected carbohydrate sources on growth performance in white shrimp L. vannamei under Biofloc system. The present set of Feeding trails consists of 8 Experimental groups with different Carbon sources in combinations. 1st group with Control diet, 2nd group with Control feed with Probiotics added, 3rd group Molasses & Tapioca, 4th group Molasses & Maize flour, 5th group Molasses & Sucrose, 6th group Molasses, Tapioca & Maize flour, 7th group Molasses, Maize flour & Sucrose and 8th group Molasses, Maize flour, Tapioca & Sucrose as Carbon sources in combinations. In the present study both Probiotics and combinations of Carbon sources used for the production of Bioflocs in the culture medium. The microbial community produced serve as additional food in addition to the regular feed supply for shrimp, produces relatively higher Growth rates and finally Productivity rates. The combined use of both Probiotics and BFT, generally acts as efficient alternative against pathogens and maintenance of ideal Water quality parameters, which in turn substantially enhances the growth potentials of shrimp L. vannamei. So the Probiotics selected in the present study Bacillus licheniformis and Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Bioflocs produced by combinations of molasses, tapioca, maize flour and sucrose yielded the best and highest Growth potentials in L. vannamei. Among the Experimental diets, Experimental diet (ED-7) formulated with both Probiotics and Bioflocs developed by the addition of Molasses, Tapioca, Maize flour and Sucrose yielded highest growth rates in L.vannamei.
