摘要

Abstract

Using net enclosures in an earthen pond

we established three culture treatments with the sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus and the Chinese white shrimp Fenneropenaeus chinensis: monoculture of sea cucumbers (C)

monoculture of shrimp (S)

and co-culture of the two species (CS). We measured levels of suspended particulate matter in the water column; total organic matter

total organic carbon

total nitrogen

and carbon/nitrogen ratios in both settling particles and the sediment; and chlorophyll a levels in the sediment. We then compared these variables between the three treatments. We also examined growth

survival

and yield of the two species in the different treatments. From June to September

the mean monthly suspended particulate matter sedimentation rates in the CS and S treatments were significantly (P<0.05) greater than those in the C treatment. From August to November

the mean monthly total organic matter

total organic carbon

total nitrogen

and chlorophyll a contents in the sediment in the CS and S treatments were significantly ( P <0.05) greater than those in the C treatment. Final wet weight

specific growth rate

survival rate

and total yield of sea cucumbers in co-culture were all significantly greater than those of sea cucumbers in monoculture. There were no significant differences among any of these variables for shrimp reared in the two systems. The bioturbation of the sediment and fecal production of the shrimp likely supplied natural food for the sea cucumbers. Co-culture of the two species is a viable option for increasing yield per unit area

maximizing use of the water body

and diversifying crop production.
