Materials and Methods
Study was conducted over 63 days
Two 100 m3 RWs
RWs were initially filled to 72 m3 with a mixture of
seawater (23 m3), freshwater (24 m3), and biofloc-
rich water (25 m3) from a previous study
On Day-7 RWs were filled to capacity (100 m3)
with a mixture of seawater (14 m3) and freshwater
(14 m3)
Freshwater was added to offset losses due to
evaporation and solids removal
Materials and Methods
Shrimp used in the current study were a cross
produced from Taura Resistant and Fast-Growth
genetic lines (Shrimp Improvement Systems,
Islamorada, FL)
Juvenile shrimp (3.60 g) were stocked at 500/m3
(1.8 kg/m3)
Shrimp were fed a 35% CP commercial feed
(Hyper-Intensive 35 Extra Short-cut, Zeigler Bros.,
Gardners, PA)
Feed was delivered by belt feeders 24h/day
