Evaluación de dos concentraciones de salinidad para la producción del camarón blanco (Litopenaeus vannamei) en piscinas de agua dulce, cantón Arenillas, provincia de El Oro.

Abstract

The present work was carried out in the Arenillas canton of the province of Oro, Ecuador. The objective was to improve productivity through the management of shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) in low salinity (ppm) pools. Through the determination of physical (oxygen, temperature, salinity, and pH) and chemical (potassium, calcium, and magnesium) parameters of the water in the pools under study. Establishing the growth and survival rate of white shrimp at different salinity concentrations. As well as, calculating the yield in quintals per hectare using the two concentrations. With this research, it is expected to demonstrate a better performance in the management of shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) by using lower salinities due to the greater survival and increase in length and mass of the species in question.
