Abstract

A study was conducted in Bahia Kino, Sonora, northwest Mexico, to evaluate the effect of aeration rate on the growth, survival and yield of the white shrimp Penaeus vannamei farmed in ponds with reduced water exchange. Aeration rates of 0, 6, 12 and 24 h per day were tested. No significant differences in growth rate were detected among treatments. Survival and yield were significantly higher in ponds with 12 and 24 h of aeration.
