In semi-closed aquaculture systems for the production of L. vannamei, microalgae play a fundamental role in the production of oxygen through the photosynthesis, being at the same time a potential food source, which highlights ...

Shrimp farming in Ecuador is one of the main important and main non-oil items in export. The intensification of shrimp culture leads to a large load of organic matter and presence of high nitrogenous compounds that affect ...

Ammonium is the main nitrogenous compound present in aquaculture ponds generated by feed and animal excretion. Under certain conditions ammonium can be toxic for shrimp. Several shrimp farms capture rich nutrients water, ...

Ammonium is a highly toxic compound that can be present in minimal quantities; however, when its control is not taken into consideration, it can increase, causing high mortality in shrimp farming. The present work exposes ...

The objective of the research work was to determine the feasibility and sustainability of applying an Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture (IMTA) system in a hybrid system (ZWD-RAS-SYMBITIC) for managing aquaculture species ...

This study sought to determine the median lethal concentration (LC50) of saponin in the mussel Mytella strigata and how this dose would affect the shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei. Quantitative experiments were carried out using ...

The technological advancements that the aquaculture industry presents today are a significant advantage, as these advances have led to a substantial improvement in this sector. However, as production intensifies, the ...

Aquaculture is a very developed field where we can find a multitude of organisms such as shells, mussels, crabs, fish, among others, at the same time these are very much desired by consumers, usually the bivalves since ...

The intensification of aquaculture has increased the deterioration and subsequent eutrophication of water used in farming. In response to this, there is a need to implement technologies with ecosystem-based approaches. ...

The shrimp industry has been an essential component of the Ecuadorian economy for more than five decades and represents one of the most significant sectors for the domestic economy. In fact, more than 40% of Ecuador's ...
