The Application Of Synbiotic Culture For Nitrification Improvement In Litopenaeus Vannamei Aquaculture
The increase in global seafood demand significantly affects marine ecosystems and results in
limited seafood commodities or even reduced quality as the global human population increases.
Aquaculture development has the potential to meet global demand by obtaining seafood
commodities in a more sustainable approach. The firm focused on raising post-larvae Litopenaeus
vannamei to a fully matured broodstock in PT Kona Bay Indonesia. The firm continues to maximize its
culturing practices and optimize its operation to produce high-quality shrimp broodstock. However,
water quality is one of the challenges in aquaculture. High nitrite levels were one of the conditions
that frequently occurred in the firm. The aim of the experiment was to investigate the relationship
between nitrite levels and water quality and biological data. For three weeks, a total of six tanks were
monitored, with two different stocking densities, 700 individuals were filled in the first 3 replicates
and 5000 individuals for the last 3 replicates. The data was then analyzed to determine any
correlation between nitrite levels and the various factors being monitored. All data were measured
and obtained from the Quality Assurance and Production Departments. Data are presented as bar or
line graphs and tables to depict various possible factors that can cause nitrite levels to frequently
increase. Some of the findings are in alignment with previous research, while others differ. It is
important to note that certain results may have been affected by measurement variations.
Additionally, previous investigations have suggested that bacterial competition within the synbiotic
culture utilized by the company to preserve water quality may have played a role. Given these
factors, any further research must be conducted using appropriate protocols and adequate
equipment.
