PRE-NURSERY OF SHRIMP POST-LARVAE REARED IN BIOFLOC SYSTEM UNDER DIFFERENT STOCKING DENSITIES

This study evaluated different stocking densities during pre-nursery of Pacific white shrimp postâ€"˜larvae (PL) reared in a biofloc system. The tanks (60 L) were stocked with PL stage 5 (PL 5) under five densities (80, 100, 120, 140 and 160 PLs L-1), in triplicate, resulting in 15 experimental units. PLs were fed nine times a day using commercial feed. Molasses was added in all treatments four times a day at an average carbon: nitrogen ratio...
