Implementación de un sistema de pre-cría para la producción de peces en la Escuela de Acuicultura y Pesquería de la Universidad Técnica de Manabí

Abstract

The fish production system was implemented in the pre-breeding phase at the Escuela de Acuicultura y Pesquería of the Universidad Técnica de Manabí, from November 2017 to February 2018. The project is located in an area of 47.5 m2 consists of 12 tanks of 1000 liters of capacity each (1t), having a diameter of 1.40 m, with a height of 0.80 m and 0.70 m of water level, the average values of dissolved oxygen were 3.8 and 4.1 ml / L, and temperature between 27.8 and 27.4 ° C. The tanks will be used for the production of fish in the initial phase. The sowing density for each tank was 500 organisms / m3, with an average weight of 0.5 g / fry. The costs of materials and labor that were used in the construction of the system were $ 8577.41 USD. The project was created for students to develop practices and research work with different species of fish.
