Cultivation of Marine Shrimp in a Super Intensive System Amid Bioflocs

Cultivation of Marine Shrimp in a Super Intensive System Amid Bioflocs

Responsible: Dr Dariano Krummenauer
Credits: 01 (15 h/a)
Offered: set/out

Syllabus:
The course aims to provide knowledge about the techniques used to produce marine shrimp in superintensive systems using biofloc technology. During the course, the following theoretical themes will be addressed: basic aspects of cultivation in biofloc systems; main microbial processes involved in the system; Biofloc Formation; Nitrification Processes; Organic Fertilization; Main water quality principles (O2, pH, Alkalinity, CO2, etc); Management aspects in the BFT system; Total Suspended Solids and control; Cultivation structures (BFT system); Food and nutrition strategies and use of Probiotics; Relation of bioflocs with biosafety; Main equipment involved and; Production and productivities in the BFT system. In addition to these activities, scientific articles will be selected for presentation of seminars by students and discussion in the classroom.
