Resumen
El objetivo del presente estudio fue evaluar el efecto combinado del biofloc en dos sistemas de cultivo sobre el crecimiento y la supervivencia de machos de Macrobrachium caementarius. El experimento se desarrolló en 12 acuarios de vidrio (55 L), distribuidos en cuatro tratamientos conformados por la combinación de dos tipos de refugios (Recipientes individuales y mallas de red cebollera) y dos condiciones de agua (con biofloc y sin biofloc). Se emplearon 72 camarones de 6,21 cm de longitud y 11,95 g de peso aproximadamente. Los resultados mostraron que el mayor crecimiento en peso se obtuvo en los tratamientos con recipientes individuales y biofloc (p < 0,05), mientras que el crecimiento en longitud no presentó diferencia significativa entre tratamientos (p < 0,05). La supervivencia fue significativamente mayor (p < 0,05) en los tratamientos con recipientes individuales en agua sin biofloc (88,89%), en comparación con los de mallas en agua sin biofloc (27,78%), los recipientes individuales en agua con biofloc (27,78%) y con mallas en agua con biofloc (16,67%). En conclusión, el biofloc favorece el crecimiento en peso del camarón; sin embargo, el exceso de sólidos suspendidos y el canibalismo reducen la supervivencia. Por lo tanto, se recomienda optimizar el flujo del agua para mantener suspendido el biofloc en los acuarios para mejorar las condiciones de cultivo y maximizar la supervivencia de la especie.
