AbstractThe objective of this work was to evaluate the performance of Pacific marine shrimp (Litopenaeus
vannamei) and tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), in a polyculture in tanks subjected to different stocking densities
and feeding strategies, in comparison with monoculture. Two experiments were performed, at the same time,
in a completely randomized design with three treatments and four replicates each. Treatments for experiment
I were: monoculture with 10 shrimp per m (10S:0T); polyculture with 10 shrimp and 0.5 tilapia per m
(10S:0.5T); and polyculture with 10 shrimp and 1 tilapia per m (10S:1T). Shrimp was the main crop, and feed
was provided based on shrimp biomass. Treatments for experiment II were: monoculture with 2tilapia per m
(2T:0S); polyculture with 2tilapia and 2.5shrimp per m (2T:2.5S); and polyculture with 2tilapia and 5shrimp
per m (2T:5S). Tilapia was the main crop, and feed was provided based on fish requirements. In the experiment
I, tilapia introduction to shrimp culture resulted in lower shrimp growth and poor feed conversion rate. In
experiment II, shrimp introduction to tilapia culture did not interfere with fish performance. Polyculture is
more efficient with the combination of 2tilapia and 2.5 or 5shrimp perm and feed based on fish requirements.
Index terms: Litopenaeus vannamei, Oreochromis niloticus, aquaculture efficiency, feeding strategie.
Introduction
From 1997 to 2003, shrimp production in Brazil has
expanded from 3,600 to more than 90,000Mgha1 per
year, representing an increase of more than 2,400%.
In just six years, productivity increased from 1,050
