Technical feasibility of integrating Amazon river prawn culture during the first phase of tambaqui grow-out in stagnant ponds, using nutrient-rich water

The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of producing the Amazon river prawn (Macrobrachium amazonicum) with tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum) in integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA) systems. An experiment was carried out in a completely randomized design with four treatments (types of production systems) and three replicates per treatment (ponds): prawn monoculture (30 prawns. m−2); fish monoculture (3 fish. m−2); IMTA with...
