Abstract

In order to better understand Litopenaeus vannamei aquaculture practices within the burgeoning European shrimp aquaculture sector, a 17-point questionnaire was developed and distributed to industrial or scientific shrimp experts based in or affiliated with Europe. Although shrimp aquaculture is not yet widespread in Europe, 29 responses were received. Recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) and biofloc are the predominant production systems, often featuring alarm notifications. Daily system checks and animal health assessments are common, with records for behaviour and physical health monitoring, regardless of system type. Enrichment strategies, like artificial substrates and feeding trays, are frequently used. Exuviae management is debated and it is removed manually or automatically, although shrimps also consume them. Optimal water conditions identified include temperatures of 24–30°C, pH between 7.0 and 8.5, salinity of 15–25 ppt, and alkalinity of 51–200 mg/L CaCO3. Nitrogen species, alkalinity, and CO2 levels are recommended to be checked a few times a week. Neither optimal water parameters nor their check frequency correlate with the system type used. Health issues reported include antennal, uropodal, rostral, exoskeletal, muscular, and eye impairments. Gill quality seems better in RAS, while antennae and eye status may relate to stocking density. Common abnormal behaviours include swimming abnormalities, escape behaviour, lack of feeding, lethargy, and muscle cramps. Experts recommend developing health indices, ethograms, artificial intelligence monitoring, and management guidelines to advance the sector. In lieu of existing official standards, these findings offer partial guidelines and recommendations for indoor shrimp aquaculture, focusing on water chemistry, shrimp welfare, and management practices. Moulting dynamics, exuvia management, handling techniques, enrichments, and mineral requirements remain key questions for the sector.

为了更好地了解欧洲新兴对虾水产养殖业中的万年青养殖实践,我们编制了一份包含17个要点的调查问卷,并分发给位于欧洲或隶属于欧洲的对虾工业或科学专家。尽管对虾水产养殖在欧洲尚未普及,但还是收到了 29 份答复。再循环水产养殖系统(RAS)和生物絮团是主要的生产系统,通常具有报警通知功能。日常系统检查和动物健康评估很普遍,无论系统类型如何,都有行为和身体健康监测记录。经常使用人工基质和饲喂盘等丰富策略。虽然对虾也会吃掉蜕壳,但蜕壳的管理仍有争议,蜕壳会被人工或自动清除。已确定的最佳水质条件包括温度 24-30°C,pH 值介于 7.0 和 8.5 之间,盐度 15-25 ppt,碱度 51-200 mg/L CaCO3。建议每周检查几次氮的种类、碱度和二氧化碳含量。最佳水质参数及其检查频率都与所使用的系统类型无关。报告的健康问题包括触角、尿趾、喙、外骨骼、肌肉和眼睛损伤。RAS系统的鳃质量似乎更好,而触角和眼睛的状况可能与放养密度有关。常见的异常行为包括游泳异常、逃跑行为、不摄食、嗜睡和肌肉痉挛。专家建议制定健康指数、生态图谱、人工智能监测和管理指南,以推动该行业的发展。作为对现有官方标准的替代,这些研究结果为室内对虾养殖提供了部分指导和建议,重点是水化学、对虾福利和管理实践。育苗动态、卵膜管理、处理技术、增殖和矿物质需求仍是该行业的关键问题。

期刊介绍: Aquaculture Reports will publish original research papers and reviews documenting outstanding science with a regional context and focus, answering the need for high quality information on novel species, systems and regions in emerging areas of aquaculture research and development, such as integrated multi-trophic aquaculture, urban aquaculture, ornamental, unfed aquaculture, offshore aquaculture and others. Papers having industry research as priority and encompassing product development research or current industry practice are encouraged.
