We assessed the hatchery performance of Litopenaeus vannamei between the mysis 1 and postlarva 5 stages, in a zero-exchange biofloc system. Two sources of organic carbon (molasses and dextrose) were evaluated and water quality, zootechnical parameters, microbiology, and water consumption during production were compared between carbon-supplemented and control groups.
The mean values of the evaluated water quality parameters were appropriate for this production stage. Fertilization with molasses and
dextrose efficiently controlled ammonia levels and ammonia did not
reach the average concentrations that are considered toxic for the
species (total ammonia < 1.3 mg L-1 and free ammo- nia < 0.05 mg
L − 1 ). The number of heterotrophic bacteria in the water was greater in the molasses and dextrose groups than in the control group. However, there was no difference in Vibrionaceae count
between groups. There was no difference between groups in survival (>85%), length (6.15 mm), dry weight (0.17 mg) of postlarvae 5. Treatment with dextrose or molasses required approximately 12% of the water used by the control group. L.
vannamei production rates and water quality were maintained
without water exchange using a biofloc system supplemented
with dextrose or molasses.
