Summary:
- The article discusses the use of nematodes as an alternative to Artemia (brine shrimp) for rearing shrimp postlarvae in biofloc systems.
- Nematodes are a more cost-effective and sustainable option compared to Artemia, which can be expensive and difficult to obtain in some regions.
- Experiments have shown that shrimp postlarvae can be successfully reared on a diet of nematodes, with similar or even better growth and survival rates compared to Artemia-based diets.
