Microbial Flocs Spare Protein In White Shrimp Diets

摘要

The authors conducted a study to determine how reducing the protein content of a diet would affect the growth performance of L. vannamei reared in an experimental microbial floc culture system. Shrimp given feed with less than 25% crude protein performed similarly to shrimp raised under regular intensive culture with a 37%-protein diet. The biofloc system also delivered more consistent survival rates, especially at higher density.
