Food Preference Of Penaeus Vannamei, John T. Ogle, Kathy Beaugez Jan 1991

Food Preference Of Penaeus Vannamei, John T. Ogle, Kathy Beaugez

Gulf and Caribbean Research

The preference of Penaeus vannamei for 15 food items used in maturation was determined. The foods in order of preference were ranked as follows: Artemia, krill, Maine bloodworms, oysters, sandworms, anchovies, Panama bloodworms, Nippai maturation pellets, Shigueno maturation pellets, conch, squid, Salmon-Frippak maturation pellets, Rangen maturation pellets and Argent maturation pellets.


Design And Operation Of A Small Tank System For Ovarian Maturation And Spawning Of Penaeus Vannamei, John T. Ogle Jan 1991

Design And Operation Of A Small Tank System For Ovarian Maturation And Spawning Of Penaeus Vannamei, John T. Ogle

Gulf and Caribbean Research

Ovarian maturation and spawning of Penaeus vannamei was accomplished in a 120 l (30 gal) tank as well as in a 800 l recirculating system consisting of six aquaria plumbed into a common biofilter. Pond reared animals stocked one per tank were fed a diet consisting of commercial pellets, squid, and bloodworms. Temperature was maintained at 28oC and salinity between 28 and 32 ppt. Presence of black shields between aquaria, males, eggs in the water, and other females in the aquaria were not required for ovarian maturation. Thirty-six of 78 females held in the small talk system spawned. …


Maturation Of Penaeus Vannamei Based Upon A Survey, John T. Ogle Jan 1991

Maturation Of Penaeus Vannamei Based Upon A Survey, John T. Ogle

Gulf and Caribbean Research

Captive maturation and reproduction of Penaeus vannamei, a popularly cultured penaeid shrimp, was first achieved in 1977. Based upon interviews of 18 facility managers, average conditions are as follows: tank diameter of 4.6 m (15 ft), 100% water exchange with recirculation, temperature 27-29°C. salinity 28-32 ppt, and a photoperiod of 13-14 hours of light. Broodstock are predominately wild, undergo unilateral eyestalk ablation by enuculation, and are stocked at five per square meter with a 1:1 sex ratio. Penaeus vannamei at most facilities are fed squid, pellets and bloodworms four times daily and 3-7% of the females are found to …
