MICROBIAL FLOCS AS A FOOD SOURCE Studies report that microbial flocs can act
as a food source for farm-reared shrimp under zero-water exchange intensive systems (Tacon et al., 2002; Buford et al., 2004; Wasielesky et al., 2006; Ju et al., 2008; Kuhn et al., 2010; Ray et al., 2010) Bioflocs may contain high levels of crude
protein (up to 58 ± 9% CP DM, Crab et al., 2010), besides a large number of macro (calcium, phosphorus, potassium and magnesium) and micro elements (copper, iron, manganese and zinc) However, commercial feeds developed
for these systems are formulated to be complete or nearly complete in terms of meeting shrimp nutrient requirements
Microbial flocs from shrimp experimental tanks at LABOMAR, Brazil.
OBJECTIVES
Evaluate if restraining essential amino acids (EAA) and long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA) in a diet could affect the growth performance of juveniles of the white shrimpLitopeaneus vannamei under the presence of bioflocs in a zero-water exchange experimental system.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
A total of 48 outdoor tanks of 1 m3 each were used in this study Juvenile shrimp with 3.04 ± 0.43 g (n = 6,144) in body weight
were stocked under 128 shrimp/m3 and raised for 10 weeksShrimp were fed daily by hand broadcasting at 0730 am,
1100 am and 0330 pmTwelve diets with 12.0%, 8.0%, 4.0%, and no fish meal (MET
= 0.49, 0.45, 0.42 and 0.38%, respectively) combined with 32.4%, 37.7%, 42.9%, and 48.2% soybean meal, respectively, were designed to contain 2.0%, 1.0% or 0% fish oil. Diets were lab-extruded and formulated to contain 30%
crude protein and 8% fat

1. Improvements in body weight at 0% and 1% fish oil with progressive increases in fish meal: appeared to be associated with essential fatty acid (EFA) requirements
2. Minimum EFA level appeared to be achieved with 1% fish oil and 8% fish meal
3. At 2% fish oil: further improvements in body weight appeared to be the result of higher levels of essential amino acids
EAA and EFA: limiting nutrients
1. Microbial flocs provided some level of nutrient contribution to reared shrimp, otherwise it would not have been possible to achieve shrimp growth and survivability with diets deficient in EAA and LC-PUFA
2. Diets were low in crude protein relative to the stocking density adopted. However, higher dietary levels of fish meal and oil enhanced shrimp growth and final body weight, indicating that a higher EAA and LC-PUFA content may be desired under zero-water exchange systems for L. vannamei.
