Abstract

White snapper (Lates calcarifer) is a high value aquaculture commodity with increasing market demand. This study aimed to analyzed the growth performance of white snapper fry during the nursery phase at the ODE Aquaculture and Agriculture Hatchery Unit, Brunei-Muara District, Brunei Darussalam, from March to June 2023.The nursery utilized controlled fiberglass tanks equipped with aeration and a flow-through water system. Two types of tanks were used: rectangular tanks measuring 4 × 1.5 × 1 m (capacity: 6,000 L) and circular tanks with a diameter of 2 m (capacity: 3,140 L). A total of 100,000 fry were stocked, with 30,000–40,000 fry per tank. Observed parameters included survival rate (SR), absolute length growth rate, absolute weight growth rate, specific growth rate (SGR), and feed conversion ratio (FCR). Water quality parameters measured were temperature, salinity, and pH. Results indicated an absolute length growth rate of 1.2 cm/week, surpassing previous studies reporting only 0.4 cm/week. The absolute weight growth rate was 1.3 g/week, exceeding the 0.6–1 g/week range reported in other research. The FCR was 0.33, demonstrating excellent feed efficiency. However, the survival rate was 30.77%, below the standard for controlled nursery systems (>50%), likely due to high stocking density and cannibalism. Harvest size ranged from 8 to 9 cm. Water quality remained stable, with temperatures between 31–32.5°C, pH levels from 7.6–8.3, and salinity ranging from 30–32 ppt. Despite the low survival rate attributed to high stocking density, the nursery phase at this facility achieved commendable growth rates compared to previous studies. This success is supported by stable water quality and the provision of high-protein feed.

Abstract

Vannamei shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) is a high-value aquaculture commodity. However, during the post-larval rearing phase, fluctuations in water quality and high abundance of Vibrio can cause stress and larval mortality. Therefore, evaluation of rearing practices and water quality is important to support successful juvenile shrimp production. This study aims to evaluate water quality, health, and growth of vannamei shrimp juveniles during the post-larval rearing period. Rearing was conducted from PL4–5 to PL10–11 using three tanks measuring 6 x 4 x 2 meters (water volume 40 tons), each labeled A6, B4, and B11. The fry quality results showed that all tanks achieved grade A, with optimal stadia development and gut muscle ratio. Observations on juvenile shrimp health revealed no necrosis, low Vibrio infection, and high stress resistance. Observations on post-larval growth showed an average length of 7.76–9.27 mm and an average survival rate of 88%, exceeding the minimum standard of SNI 7311:2009. Therefore, effective water quality management and control of Vibrio abundance during the rearing period of shrimp post-larvae can significantly improve the survival rate and quality of vannamei shrimp post-larvae.
