Overview

Randomized trial assesses hatchery performance of Scylla serrata in various water types, suggesting biofloc technology boosts sustainability.

Key Points

  • The study aims to evaluate the effects of different culture media on the survival and performance of Scylla serrata in hatcheries.
  • Comparative analysis of Scylla serrata performance from zoea to crab instar in biofloc water, green water, and clear water.
  • Microbial analysis to evaluate bacterial counts across different water types during the study.
  • Assessment of survival rates during simulated transport and salinity exposure.
  • Survival from zoea 5 to crab instar was highest in green water; no significant differences observed between treatments (p>0.05).
  • Biofloc water exhibited significantly higher total heterotrophic bacteria and lower luminous bacteria compared to other treatments (p<0.05).
  • Higher survival rates after simulated transport and better tolerance to low salinity were observed in crabs reared in biofloc water (p<0.05).
