DEVELOPMENT OF MYSIS SHRIMP LITOPENAEUS VANNAMEI (DECAPODA:PENAEIDAE) FED WITH THE ROTIFER BRACHIONUS ROTUNDIFORMIS (PLIONA: BRACHIONIDAE)

A.A.Ortega-Salas, Pedro Flores N

Abstract

As the demand increases shrimp production, Artemia cysts is also increased, their availability and prices. In our case Mysis larvae Litopenaeus vannamei (Boone) was fed five different portions of the rotifer Brachionus rotundiformis (Tschugunoff), with the aim of determining ration that produces more survival, larval development, growth and weight. The rotifers were cultured in 20 containers using the semi-continuos technique with a working volume of 15 L. The strains were kept in containers of 3.5 L with 2 L of filtered seawater, were fed the microalga Thalassiosira weissflogii (Grunow). Daily volume of 3 L of rotifers plus 2 L through a sieve of 55μm, which equivalent to 30% of the volume harvested, it is added to food for the purpose of completing 5 L. Experiment 1 was completed in 74 hours and 93 hours in Experiment 2. The best results were obtained with surviving larvae fed 240-400 rotlarvae-1; survival ranged from 40 to 88%. The development index 3.60 to 3.88 was achieved with the highest density of rotifers, which indicates that 60-88% of the larvae reached the PL1 stage in a given time. The growth in both size and weight, no significant differences between treatments were found, except for the increase in size experiment 2, where the three treatments with the greatest portion of rotifers were larvae had larger sizes, from 3.63 to 3.76 mm. In the case of experiment 1 larger count were taken with the 240-420 rot?larvae-1 treatments with a size of 3.44 mm. The organic growth in dry weight, no significant differences were found, most larvae dry weight were fed treatment 1: 320-420 rotlarvae-1, with a weight of 71.78 mglarvae- 1 and the treatment 2: 240-400 rotlarvae-1 weighing 91.67 mglarvae-1; the highest values in the organic weight had larvae fed treatment 1: 240-420 rotlarvae-1 with values 77.72, and 55.02 mglarvae -1, for treatment 2.
