摘要

Abstract

Shrimps (Litopenaeus vannamei) were intensively cultured in a recirculating aquaculture system for 98 days to investigate effects of 0.3 mg/L Cu on its performance

Cu budget

and Cu distribution. Shrimps in Cu-treated systems had greater mean final weight (11.10 vs 10.50 g)

body length (107.23 vs 106.42 mm)

survival rate (67.80% vs 66.40%)

and yield (6.42 vs 5.99 kg/m3)

and lower feed conversion ratio (1.20 vs 1.29) than those in control systems but the differences were not significant. Vibrio numbers remained stable (104–106 colony forming units/mL) in the rearing tanks of both control and treated systems. Total ammonium-N

nitrite-N

nitrate-N

chemical oxygen demand

5-day carbonaceous biochemical oxygen demand

and total suspended solids were similar in controls and treatments. Dissolved Cu concentration in the treated systems decreased from 0.284 to 0.089 mg/L while in the control systems it increased from 0.006 2 to 0.018 mg/L. The main sources of Cu in the treated systems were the artificially added component (75.7% of total input)

shrimp feed (21.0%)

water (2.06%)

and shrimp biomass (1.22%). The major outputs of Cu occurred via the mechanical filter (41.7%)

water renewal (15.6%)

and draining of the sediment trap (15.1%). The foam fractionator removed only 0.69% of total Cu input. Harvested shrimp biomass accounted for 11.68% of Cu input. The Cu concentration of shrimps in the Cu-treated systems (30.70 mg/kg wet weight) was significantly higher than that in control systems (22.02 mg/kg). Both were below the maximum permissible concentration (50 mg/kg) for Cu in seafood for human consumption in China. Therefore

recirculating systems can be used for commercial on-growing of Litopenaeus vannamei without loss of shrimp quality

even in water polluted by 0.30 mg/L Cu. The mechanical filter is the main route for Cu removal.
