Abstract
The study examined the impacts of varying protein levels and additional substrate area for periphyton formation on the growth and survival of whiteleg shrimp postlarvae reared in a biofloc system. Shrimp postlarvae were stocked in eighteen 100L tanks each filled with 60L of seawater (28 ‰ salinity). In a 3×2 factorial arrangement, the experimental diets were formulated to contain three varying dietary protein levels (25, 35, and 45% CP). Shrimp diets were prepared and supplied
期刊介绍:
The main focus of Egyptian Journal of Aquatic Biology and Fisheries is to publish peer-reviewed, original papers relating to the biology and ecology of fresh, brackish and marine wetlands. Papers on applied research in both fisheries and aquaculture are so encouraging. Preference will be given to studies that address timely and current topics such as impact of climate change and green economy. The aim of Egyptian Journal of Aquatic Biology and Fisheries is to provide a wide scope for the aquatic biologist and limnologist to address and evaluate fisheries issues related to processes and functioning at different levels (individuals, communities and ecosystems).
