[Water quality of closed polyculture of penaeid shrimp with tilapia and constricted tagelus].
A variety of water quality parameters were monitored in enclosures for the polyculture of penaeid shrimp with tilapia and constricted tagelus. The result showed that the environment of the polyculture systems was better than that of monoculture one. The fluctuation of DO in the water of polyculture enclosures was less violent, and their lowest values were obviously higher than those in monoculture ones. The value of COD and the number of bacteria in the water of polyculture enclosures were significantly lower than those in monoculture ones(t-test, alpha < 0.05), showing that the amount of organic matter in the water of polyculture systems was less than that in monoculture one. The biomass of plankton and the concentration of chlorophyll-a in the polyculture enclosures were also lower, showing that the suppression of the filtering animals to the plankton was obvious. The accumulation of N and P in the sediment of polyculture enclosures was 39.76% and 51.26%, lower than those of monoculture ones, respectively; and the number of bacteria in the sediment was 7.63% lower. Therefore, it is obvious that closed culture system can greatly decrease the effluent to the coastal waters caused by the pond culture industry, and decrease the pollution to the coastal waters.
