摘要

Abstract

Driven by growing environmental awareness

water-saving technologies in aquaculture are receiving increasing attention. To develop a novel water-saving shrimp farming technology

we constructed a biofloc system (BF group) using bagasse as the core material

with a conventional water-exchange system serving as the control (CK group). A 42-d farming experiment of shrimp

Penaeus vannamei

in production scale was conducted to evaluate the water quality control effect of bagasse biofloc and its effects on the growth performance

body composition

immunity and intestinal flora of

vannamei

. Results indicate that the cumulative water exchange of BF group was 36.92% lower than that of CK group

and the water consumption per kg shrimp production was reduced by 24.03%. The concentration of total ammonia nitrogen (TAN) in BF group was significantly lower than that in CK group

whereas the concentrations of NO

-N and NO

-N were significantly higher than those in CK group (

0.05). Bagasse bioflocs could be eaten by

vannamei

which accounted for 23.14% of the contribution rate of food. The final body length

yield and survival rate of

vannamei

in CK group were significantly higher than t

hose in BF group (

0.05). The contents of crude protein and crude fat of

vannamei

in BF group were significantly higher than those in CK group (

0.05). The total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) ability and the activities of catalase (CAT) and alkaline phosphatase (AKP) of

vannamei

in BF group were significantly higher than those in CK group

whereas the nitric oxide synthase (T-NOS) activity was significantly lower than that in CK group (

0.05). The intestinal microbial community composition and function of

vannamei

in CK group and BF group was similar

but the richness and diversity of BF group were higher (

0.05). In summary

the use of bagasse bioflocs system for

vannamei

industrial farming significantly reduced the amount of water exchanged. Bagasse bioflocs can be ingested by shrimp and affect the body composition and immunity.
