How the intestinal microbiota of black tiger shrimp and the microbial community of polyculture pond water interact

Because water quality and microbial composition are closely linked, pond management is essential to maintain ecological stability and shrimp health.

Evaluating feed pellet size on carps and tilapia growth, feeding behavior and natural food web in pond polyculture

Feed pellet size is a management tool to steer tilapia production and total fish biomass in carp-tilapia pond polyculture.

Stirling-WorldFish: Fish polyculture offers a flexible pathway to food and nutrition security

The open-access paper finds that polyculture, or farming multiple species in one system, can supplement capture fisheries and tilapia aquaculture.

Comparing biofloc polyculture and IMTA production of Nile tilapia and Pacific white shrimp

To maximize production of both tilapia and shrimp in biofloc polyculture and IMTA production, the two species should be grown separately.

Egypt’s success with tilapia a blueprint for all Africa

Egypt is the third-largest tilapia producer globally, after China and Indonesia, and accounts for about 80 percent of African production of farmed tilapia. Many of the reasons for Egypt’s successful development of its important tilapia industry could be applied to the rest of African continent.

Study seeks candidates for blue shrimp polyculture in New Caledonia

Seasonal pathologies reduce the profitability and sustainability of the shrimp-farming industry in New Caledonia. A study was therefore conducted to estimate the effects of polyculture of blue shrimp with goldline rabbitfish or mullet on production performance and environmental quality.

U.S. field trials show promise for mullet farming in polyculture

Field trails in Alabama, USA, demonstrated the potential of raising striped mullet with Pacific white shrimp in inland ponds. Using wild-caught fingerlings at low density, the trials found the same survival rates as for mullet and shrimp grown separately.
