Water use and conservation for inland aquaculture ponds

The general hydrological equation, inflow = outflow ± change in storage, can be used to make accurate estimates of water use by ponds for inland aquaculture projects. The primary inflows are precipitation, runoff and regulated water additions. The main outflows are evaporation, seepage, overflow after storms and intentional discharge. Water conservation measures such as maintaining storage capacity in ponds equal to the normal, maximum daily precipitation, reduction in seepage beneath dams and through pond bottoms, fish harvest without draining ponds, and water re-use are discussed. Even with the implementation of water conservation measures, pond aquaculture is a water- intensive endeavour which consumes more water per unit of area than irrigated agriculture. However, the value of aquacultural production per unit of water used greatly exceeds that of irrigated agriculture. Reduction in effluent volume is the most effective water saving means, and not only reduces water consumption but also reduces the pollution potential of pond aquaculture.     

Water budgets for fish ponds in the dry tropics

Water budgets were calculated for embankment fish ponds located in the dry tropics. Two 5-month studies were conducted at Comayagua, Honduras. Daily pond evaporation averaged 0·55 ± 0·22 and 0·64 ± 0·17 cm during studies 1 and 2, respectively. Pond evaporation was 14·5% greater during study 2. Significantly greater pond evaporation was measured during the 3 driest months compared to the 3 rainiest months. Mean daily seepage ranged from 0·11 to 0·43 cm and from 0·06 to 0·60 cm during studies 1 and 2, respectively. Total rainfall during study 1 exceeded that during study 2 by 43%. Regulated inflow water was required every month to replace water losses to pond evaporation and seepage. Pond evaporation accounted for 70% of total water loss during both studies, while seepage accounted for the remaining water loss. Rain accounted for 45·5 and 21·8% of gains during studies 1 and 2, respectively. Regulated inflow water accounted for 52·8 and 77·9% of the respective gains.     

Salt Discharge from an Inland Farm for Marine Shrimp in Alabama

The total salt input in saline well water, mineral amendments, feed, and rainfall and runoff to ponds of an inland shrimp farm in Alabama was 1980.8 tonnes over a 5‐yr period. A residual of 270.4 tonnes of salt remained in pond water and 38.3 tonnes in bottom soil. Only 8.0 tonnes of salt were removed in harvested shrimp. A total of 1588.0 tonnes of salt or 80.2% of the input was lost to the environment with about equal amounts exiting the ponds in seepage and in overflow and harvest effluent. About 4.2% of the salt input (84.1 tonnes) could not be accounted for because of errors in assumptions and measurements. Salt concentration was elevated in a small stream passing through the farm and in the shallow aquifer beneath it. Needham Creek, the receiving water body for runoff and base flow from the farm watershed, had elevated salt concentrations when ponds were partially drained for harvest in the fall. At this time, chloride concentration exceeded 230 mg/L, the maximum concentration allowed by Alabama Department of Environmental Management regulations. Greater water reuse or more gradual release of pond effluent during harvest would reduce the peak in‐stream chloride concentration and avoid noncompliance with the in‐stream chloride criterion.     

The impact of carp pond management upon macrozoobenthos assemblages in recipient pond canals

Impact of carp pond management upon macrozoobenthos assemblages was studied in inlet and outlet carp pond canals in South Moravia (Czech Republic). Four ponds (two eutrophic and two hypertrophic ones) with different types of fish farming management and intensification measures were selected for the evaluation of the impact of inlet water quality, discharge rate and pond stocking management upon the outlet water quality determinants based on macrozoobenthos evaluation during April–September 2009. Five inlet and four outlet canals were sampled by “kick–sampling” approach and also by using the artificial substrates. The pattern of water quality changes after the flow through the pond was predominantly influenced by inlet water quality. In ponds supplied with worsened inflow water quality with the saprobic index (SI) according to macrozoobenthos corresponding to alpha-mesosaprobity (SI 2.82–2.89), the outflow water quality was significantly improved by approximately half of the saprobic degree on SI 2.38–2.42. On the contrary, the inflow water quality corresponding to beta-mesosaprobity (SI, 2.32) was significantly (p < 0.01) deteriorated to alpha-mesosaprobity in the pond outflow. Macrozoobenthos diversity and the number of taxa reflected the flow through the pond identically with saprobic determinants. In ponds with poor inflow water quality, the number of macrozoobenthos taxa and its diversity increased in the outlet canals, and vice versa, in ponds with good-quality inflow water, the number of taxa and macrozoobenthos diversity decreased in outlet canals.     

Estimates of Bottom Soil and Effluent Load of Phosphorus at a Semi-intensive Marine Shrimp Farm

A phosphorus budget for a single crop was prepared for a 685‐ha semi‐intensive shrimp farm that consistently has produced about 3000 tonnes/yr of black tiger prawn, Penaeus monodon. Phosphorus inputs were shrimp stock, 0.31 kg/ha; triple superphosphate, 1.38 kg/ha; incoming water, 25.8 kg/ha; and feed, 65.3 kg/ha. Phosphorus outputs were harvested shrimp, 5.43 kg/ha, and outflow for water exchange and draining, 42.7 kg/ha. The high clay‐content soil in pond bottoms adsorbed 45.2 kg/ha of phosphorus. Water was taken from and released back into the same estuary and bay. The phosphorus contribution of shrimp farming to the receiving water body was the difference between the amount of phosphorus in effluent and that in the incoming water, which was 16.9 kg/ha. Bottom soil accumulated 67.8% of phosphorus added to the ponds. Another estimate of soil phosphorus uptake based on the relationship between cumulative phosphorus applied to ponds as fertilizer and feed and soil phosphorus concentration suggested that 63.2% of fertilizer and feed phosphorus had accumulated in pond bottoms. The farm effluent phosphorus load was 23.5 tonnes/yr. The estuary and bay system has an estimated volume of 4.8 × 10⁹ m³, and the annual phosphorus input from the farm had a concentration equivalent of 0.005 mg/L, and there were no other major inputs of phosphorus. The estuary and bay are flushed by freshwater inflow and tidal action, and the farm input is not likely to cause eutrophication.     

Environmental Assessment of Channel Catfish Ictalurus punctatus Farming in Alabama

An environmental assessment was made of Alabama channel catfish Ictalurus punctatus farming which is concentrated in the west‐central region of the state. There are about 10,000 ha of production ponds with 10.7% of the area for fry and fingerlings and 89.3% for food fish. Food fish production was about 40,800 tons in 1997. Watershed ponds filled by rainfall and runoff make up 76% of total pond area. Water levels in many of these ponds are maintained in dry weather with well water. The other ponds are embankment ponds supplied by well water. Harvest is primarily by seine‐through procedures and ponds are not drained frequently. The main points related to Alabama catfish farming and environment issues are as follows: 1) catfish farming in Alabama is conservative of water, and excluding storm overflow, about two pond volumes are intentionally discharged from each pond in 15 yr; 2) overflow from ponds following rains occurs mostly in winter and early spring when pond water quality is good and stream discharge volume is high; 3) total suspended solids concentrations in pond effluents were high, and the main sources of total suspended solids were erosion of embankments, pond bottoms, and discharge ditches; 4) concentrations of nitrogen and phosphorus in effluents were not high, but annual effluent loads of these two nutrients were greater than for typical row crops in Alabama; 5) ground water use by the industry is about 86,000 m³/d, but seepage from ponds returns water to aquifers; 6) there is little use of medicated feeds; 7) copper sulfate is used to control blue‐green algae and off‐flavor in ponds, but copper is rapidly lost from pond water; 8) although sodium chloride is applied to ponds to control nitrite toxicity, stream or ground water salinization has not resulted from this practice; 9) fertilizers are applied two or three times annually to fry and fingerling ponds and occasionally to grow‐out ponds; 10) hydrated lime is applied occasionally at 50 to 100 kg/ha but this does not cause high pH in pond waters or effluents; 11) accumulated sediment removed from pond bottoms is used to repair embankments and not discarded outside ponds; 12) sampling above and below catfish pond outfalls on eight streams revealed few differences in stream water quality; 13) electricity used for pumping water and mechanical aeration is only 0.90 kW h/kg of production; 14) each metric ton of fish meal used in feeds yields about 10 tons of dressed catfish. Reduction in effluent volume through water reuse and effluent treatment in settling basins or wetlands does not appear feasible on most farms. However, some management practices are recommended for reducing the volume and improving the quality of channel catfish pond effluents.     

Marine shrimp aquaculture: a novel waste treatment system

Ecuadorian Penaeus vannamei were cultured in dirt ponds (each of approximately 163 m²) at four different stocking densities, i.e. 5 shrimp m⁻², 10 shrimp m⁻², 15 shrimp m⁻² and 20 shrimp m⁻². Experiments were carried out over three different periods during the year. Each experiment lasted for 11–14 weeks. No commercial feed was given to the shrimp. The only input to the ponds was about 30 kg of cattle manure per pond per week. Chemical composition of the cattle manure was analyzed. Water quality parameters such as temperature, pH, DO and turbidity were recorded twice daily for each experiment; nutrients (nitrite, nitrate, ammonium and phosphate), water ATP, sediment ATP, H₂S and chlorophyll were measured twice weekly for each experiment. Shrimp were sampled either weekly or bi-weekly for body weight measurements.

The results showed a negative correlation between stocking density and growth. Weekly growth ranged from 0·44 to 1·58 g week⁻¹. Survival was over 50% in all treatments and averaged at 70·8%. Under these stocking densities, shrimp production ranged from 4·4 to 18·8 kg ha⁻¹ day⁻¹. The stocking density of 15 shrimps m⁻² provides better production than the other stocking densities.

Water quality data did not relate to any shrimp growth. Water nutrient levels in pond discharge water were less than or equal to the nutrients in the incoming water in spite of the weekly addition of cattle manure and did not increase with the addition of cattle manure. No coliform bacteria were detected in any pond water samples through the study period. This indicates digestion of cattle manure in marine shrimp ponds would not pollute the environment with high concentrations of dissolved nutrients.

Thus, a marine shrimp pond can be considered a dissolved nutrient marine treatment plant converting unwanted cattle manure (1841 kg cattle manure ha⁻¹ week⁻¹ in this study) into a valuable commodity — shrimp.     

Impact of farm management on expression of early mortality syndrome/acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (EMS/AHPND) on penaeid shrimp farms in Thailand

Asian shrimp farming industry has experienced massive production losses due to a disease caused by toxins of Vibrio bacteria, known as early mortality syndrome/acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (EMS/AHPND) for the last 5 years. The disease can cause up to 100% cumulative pond mortality within a week. The objective of this study was to identify factors associated with AHPND occurrence on shrimp farms. A case–control study was carried out on shrimp farms in four provinces of Thailand. Factors related to farm characteristics, farm management, pond and water preparation, feed management, post‐larvae (PL) shrimp and stock management were evaluated. Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified factors affecting AHPND occurrence at the pond level. Chlorine treatment, reservoir availability, use of predator fish in the water preparation, culture of multiple shrimp species in one farm and increased PL stocking density contributed to an increased risk of AHPND infection, while delayed first day of feeding, polyculture and water ageing were likely to promote outbreak protection. Additionally, the source of PL was found to be associated with AHPND occurrence in shrimp ponds, which requires further study at the hatchery level. Identification of these factors will facilitate the development of effective control strategies for AHPND on shrimp farms.     

Evaluation of shrimp polyculture system in Thailand based on stable carbon and nitrogen isotope ratios

ABSTRACT: To quantify the contribution by cocultured animals to waste assimilation in an intensive shrimp farm in Thailand, the food web structures of the macrobenthos in a reservoir pond, a shrimp culture pond and water treatment ponds were examined using the stable C and N isotope ratio technique. Seawater for aquaculture was drawn from a creek, and stored in a reservoir pond, used for farming the banana prawn Fenneropenaeus merguiensis in culture ponds, and then recycled through treatment ponds where the green mussel Perna viridis was cultured to remove organic wastes discharged from the farming. The clam worm Nereididae sp. and the mud creeper Cerithideopsilla cingulata in the culture pond had δ ¹³C values of −21.0‰ and −18.4‰, respectively, suggesting that shrimp feed (mean δ ¹³C = −20.7‰) was the main food source for these species. The δ ¹³C analysis also suggested that sediments (−23.7‰) in the reservoir pond and particulate organic matter (POM) (−24.0‰) and/or sediments (−25.0‰) in the treatment pond supplied carbon for most macrobenthic animals. However, green mussels in the treatment pond had a mean δ ¹³C value of −20.5‰, suggesting that shrimp feed was the main food source for this species.     

Paddlewheel Effects on Shrimp Growth, Production and Crop Value in Commercial Earthen Ponds

The effects of continuous paddlewheel operation on shrimp growth, yield and crop value were studied in Hawaii. Six 0.4 ha earthen ponds were stocked with Penaeus vannamei at 25 postlarvae/m². Three ponds served as controls with no mechanical aeration or mixing. Each of the other three ponds had two 1 hp paddlewheel aerators (3.7 kw/ha) running continuously throughout the five month trial (29 April-8 October 1986). All other management factors were applied uniformly.
Daily water temperature and use were significantly different between treatments. Paddlewheel ponds had lower water temperatures (28.3 vs. 28.5 C) and lower water use (0.8% exchange per day vs. 2.2% exchange per day) than control ponds.
Faster shrimp growth in paddlewheel ponds was evident in week 8. At week 14, mean shrimp body weights and growth rates were significantly greater. Shrimp at harvest were 21.2 ± 2.6 g in paddlewheel ponds versus 15.3 ± 2.6 g in control ponds. Mean shrimp production was 2,852 ± 222 kg/ha in paddlewheel ponds compared to only 2,061 ± 558 kg/ha in controls. Mean crop value was $13,719 per pond per crop for paddlewheel ponds versus $9,111 for control ponds. Hence, paddlewheels afforded an increase of 42% in net crop value after subtracting purchase and operating costs.

Free water productivity measurements in leaky mariculture ponds

The rate of net organic productivity in experimental shrimp mariculture ponds was determined via free water methods for each hour over a two month period in late summer 1985. Automated measurements of pH and temperature served as the basis for development of a mass balance budget for dissolved inorganic carbon. Pond surface area and volume changed with depth in a complex but predictable fashion. The seepage rate, which is a quantitatively important term in the inorganic carbon budget, was determined with the salt mass balance. Seepage rates averaged 136–182 mm day⁻¹ (23–37% of pond volume per day). Close agreement between evaporation rates, independently determined from water budgets for each of the four adiacent ponds, demonstrated that the calculated seepage rates were accurate. All four ponds were net producers of organic matter despite the fact that three of the four received additions of allochthonous organic matter. Net productivity averaged 14–65 mmol C m⁻² day⁻¹.     

Influence of variation in water temperature on survival,growth and yield of Pacific white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei in inland ponds for low‐salinity culture

There is considerable interest in the culture of whiteleg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) in inland low‐salinity water in Alabama and other states in the Sunbelt region of the US. However, the growing season is truncated as compared with tropical or subtropical areas where this species is typically cultured, and temperature is thought to be a major factor influencing shrimp production in the US. This study, conducted at Greene Prairie Aquafarm located in west‐central Alabama, considered water temperature patterns on a shrimp farm in different ponds and different years; and sought possible effects of bottom water temperature in ponds on variation in shrimp survival, growth and production. Water temperature at 1.2 m depth in 22 ponds and air temperature were monitored at 1‐hr intervals during the 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015 growing seasons. Records of stocking rates, survival rates and production were provided by the farm owner. Correlation analysis and linear mixed model analysis of variance were used. Results showed that hourly water temperatures differed among ponds. The range of water temperature in each pond explained 41% of the variance in average final weight of shrimp harvested from each pond. In conclusion, the results suggest that variation in water temperature patterns has considerable influence on shrimp growth and survival in ponds.     

Water Temperature in Inland,Low-Salinity Shrimp Ponds in Alabama

Water temperature in eight ponds and air temperatures were monitored at 2-h intervals during the 2010 growing season at an inland, low-salinity shrimp farm in Alabama. There was a high correlation (P < 0.01) between mean daily air and water temperatures; pond water usually averaged 3° to 4°C warmer than air. Monthly mean water temperatures among eight ponds differed by 3.40°C in May and by 2.83°C in September, but there was less than 1°C difference among ponds in June, July, and August. Differences in temperature among ponds were not related to pond water surface:volume ratio, but in July and September there was a negative correlation (P < 0.05) with increasing aeration rate. Negative correlations (P < 0.05) between average water temperature over the entire culture period and survival and production of Pacific white shrimp, Litopeneaus vannamei, possibly resulted from variation in crop duration and were not causal. Nevertheless, differences in water temperature among ponds in May and September were great enough to have possibly caused differential shrimp survival and production among ponds.

Magnesium Budget for Inland Low‐Salinity Water Shrimp Ponds in Alabama

A magnesium budget was prepared for a commercial low‐salinity shrimp farm in the Blackland Prairie region of Alabama for one production cycle. Ponds had previously been used for production and fertilized with magnesium; two ponds (S‐5 and S‐6) for four previous years and one pond (N‐9) for one previous season. Fertilization with sulfate of potash magnesia (K₂SO₄·2MgSO₄ or K‐Mag^®) was applied to these ponds to obtain the concentrations of 20 mg/L, averaging 1274 kg Mg²⁺/ha. Additional inputs of magnesium included groundwater, rainfall, and runoff averaged 441.5 kg/ha. A water budget for ponds indicated that 292.6 kg/ha of magnesium in outflows. The difference in inputs and magnesium outputs resulted mainly from adsorption of magnesium by pond bottom soils. However, the increase in exchangeable magnesium in the upper 15‐cm layer of pond bottom soils was not great enough to account for the difference in total magnesium inputs and magnesium outputs in water and shrimp. Possible explanations for this discrepancy are magnesium precipitation, nonexchangeable fixation of magnesium by clay minerals, incomplete extraction of magnesium, and analytical error. The decreased uptake of magnesium by older ponds, S‐5 and S‐6, indicate that the soils had a diminishing affinity for the cation or an equilibrium concentration is being established.     

Comparison of intensive shrimp farming systems in Indonesia, Philippines, Taiwan and Thailand

The estimated production of cultured shrimps for 1995 in Taiwan, the Philippines, Indonesia and Thailand was 20 000, 40 000, 80 000 and 220 000 tonnes, respectively. Intensive shrimp ponds in the Philippines (71%) and Indonesia (63%), which are developed in the tidal and mangrove areas, cannot be properly treated by complete drying, owing to seepage from supply and drainage, nor by removal of the fouled layer by heavy machines such as bulldozers. Intensive farms in Thailand and Taiwan are owned by small-scale operators operating 2-3 ponds simultaneously, each ranging from 0.16 to 1.0 ha, which is the optimal size for efficient farm management and lower overhead and investment costs compared with larger farms such as those found in Indonesia and the Philippines. In Taiwan, 90% of pond water supply is mixed open sea water with underground fresh water. Pond salinity, which is kept constant at 10-15%o, causes Taiwanese farmers to encounter an array of problems which include high cost of underground water pumping, land subsidence, salinization, more pathogens and rapidly fouled bottom. Water loss by seepage in Thailand is minimal (average 23 cm in the final month), compared with Indonesia and the Philippines, because pond dikes are tightly compacted by heavy machines and high clay content (86%). Circular water movement in ponds in Thailand, facilitated by heavy aeration (13.3 hp ha^?1), aids in the settling of waste in pond centres for easy removal. Indonesia and the Philippines still maintain high water exchange systems (335 cm and 470 cm in the final month, respectively) which introduce viruses, other pathogens, excess organic loads, ammonia and other toxic particles released by nearby farms through the incoming water. Despite serious crop failures in other countries within the past few years, the annual shrimp production in Thailand still remains high because farmers have readily adopted new, environmentally friendly and locally suitable, water exchange systems such as less water exchange, and closed, full-strength seawater and freshwater systems, overcoming heavy viral and disease infections. Approximately 30% of shrimp production in Thailand comes from the freshwater areas, sometimes 200 km from the sea. Half of the Philippine farmers rely on imported feeds; this has caused high shrimp mortality owing to toxins produced from expired feeds kept in humid conditions.     

塘田联作对池塘水质及罗氏沼虾生长的影响

为探索节能减排的池塘养殖新模式,开展了罗氏沼虾(Macrobrachium rosenbergii)-水稻塘田联作试验。以罗氏沼虾-水稻联作试验塘和罗氏沼虾单养对照塘各1口为研究对象,监测池塘的主要水环境因子动态及罗氏沼虾生长指标,分析塘田联作模式对池塘水质及罗氏沼虾生长的影响。试验塘被改造为养殖区与稻田两部分以模拟塘田联作,每部分面积各占50%。水稻于2018年4月22日机栽完毕,5月12日放养虾苗,6月28日起进行水质和生长监测。结果显示:1)试验期间试验塘平均水温比对照塘低0.82℃;2)试验塘水体无机氮(NH4+-N、NO2--N、NO3--N)、活性磷酸盐-磷(PO43--P)、总悬浮颗粒物(TPM)、颗粒有机物(POM)、颗粒无机物(PIM)浓度、化学需氧量(COD)和变异系数(CV)在整个养殖期间均低于对照塘,且NH4+-N、COD与对照塘差异显著(P<0.05),而对照塘对应水质指标在养殖后期均出现大幅升高;3)试验塘特定生长率和增重率分别为3.07%·d-1和459.40%,而对照塘分别为2.86%·d-1和397.44%。结果表明,塘田联作能降低夏季高温期池塘水温及水体氮(N)、磷(P)浓度与COD,并保持水质稳定,促进罗氏沼虾的生长。
