Survival of white shrimp (litopenaeus vannamei) in relation to water quality parameters (Original)

Abstract

The relationship between the water quality parameters and the survival percentage and the white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) in the shrimp farm of the south coast (Calisur), Río Cauto municipality, Granma province was evaluated. The study was carried out in three ponds of farm 1 during the sowing and cultivation months of crustacean (October 2020 to January 2021); where the environmental conditions and the characteristics of the species were taken into account. Constant control and monitoring of some physical-chemical parameters was carried out: pH, salinity (ppm), dissolved oxygen (mg L), temperature (ºC) and transparency (cm), as well as their influence on the survival and yields of the shrimp. The data obtained were analyzed in the entity's laboratory by the working group; obtaining the results that pond 27 was superior in relation to water quality, which satisfactorily influenced the survival and yields of the shrimp and good productive results.
