Results of intensive culture of Penaeus monodon at PPPBUK Malaysia 1985-1987

Faazaz Abd Latif, . and Palanisamy V., . (1992) Results of intensive culture of Penaeus monodon at PPPBUK Malaysia 1985-1987. [Proceedings Paper]

Successful shrimp culture industry calls for efficient fry production system through hatcheries. For example the intensive larval rearing technique practised at PPPBUK is along the aforementioned objective. This paper gives an account of the techniques and some important observations in the intensive rearing of Penaeus monodon from the nauplii to postlarva PL 2. For the year of 1985 1986 and 1987 the total number of larval rearings carried out were 67 69 and 72 respectively. The technique used 7 conical-bottomed cylindrical fibreglass tanks 2 ton capacity with a stocking density of 90-150 nauplii per litre. Feed for larva includes algae like Isochrysis sp. Chaetoceros sp. Platymonas sp. or Skeletonema sp. and Artemia nauplii. Partial water exchange was first carried out at mysis 1 followed by total exchange from mysis 3 onwards. Antibiotic and fungicide were used as prophylactic against bacterial and fungal diseases respectively. Duration of larval rearing ranged from 10 to 16 days. This intensive hatchery system was initially targetted to produce 5 million PL 2/3 annually; however the present operation could produce about 10 million a year with an average survival rate of 60 percent with the production of 75 postlarva per litre of tank capacity

Abstract

Successful shrimp culture industry calls for efficient fry production system through hatcheries. For example the intensive larval rearing technique practised at PPPBUK is along the aforementioned objective. This paper gives an account of the techniques and some important observations in the intensive rearing of Penaeus monodon from the nauplii to postlarva PL 2. For the year of 1985 1986 and 1987 the total number of larval rearings carried out were 67 69 and 72 respectively. The technique used 7 conical-bottomed cylindrical fibreglass tanks 2 ton capacity with a stocking density of 90-150 nauplii per litre. Feed for larva includes algae like Isochrysis sp. Chaetoceros sp. Platymonas sp. or Skeletonema sp. and Artemia nauplii. Partial water exchange was first carried out at mysis 1 followed by total exchange from mysis 3 onwards. Antibiotic and fungicide were used as prophylactic against bacterial and fungal diseases respectively. Duration of larval rearing ranged from 10 to 16 days. This intensive hatchery system was initially targetted to produce 5 million PL 2/3 annually; however the present operation could produce about 10 million a year with an average survival rate of 60 percent with the production of 75 postlarva per litre of tank capacity
