Integrated multitrophic aquaculture applied to shrimp rearing in a biofloc system

This study aimed to evaluate the performance of an integrated multitrophic aquaculture (IMTA) system applied to shrimp rearing in biofloc technology (BFT). The IMTA system consisted of shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) in a rearing tank (800 L), a tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) rearing tank (90 L), and a hydroponic bench with 0.33 m2 of planting space for Sarcocornia ambigua culture. A submerged pump constantly pumped water from the shrimp tank to...
