DAVID RUALES, Carlos Arturo  e  CASTANEDA ALVAREZ, Germán David. Evaluation of a recirculation system for Dorada (Brycon moorei-Steindachner 1878) larvae in the Magdalena River. Ces. Med. Vet. Zootec. [online]. 2014, vol.9, n.2, pp.179-189. ISSN 1900-9607.

Recirculating aquaculture systems allow increased productivity during larval stages due to a greater control of water quality parameters. Dorada larvae (Brycon moorei) were used 12 hours post hatching (HPE) to evaluate three planting densities with four replicates per treatment and 10, 20 and 30 larvae L-1 (T1, T2 and T3, respectively). The larvae were fed with Bocachico (Prochilodus magdalenae) larvae, Artemia salina nauplii and a 40% crude protein (CP) commercial diet for 15 days. Results showed significant differences between treatments (p<0.0001) for weight gain and specific growth rate (TCE), where T1 performed better (73.24±19 mg and 14.21±5.02%, respectively); followed by T3 (67.15±24.3 mg and 13.94±7.51%) and T2 (55.67±18.33 mg and 13.36±5.75%). Survival rate was inversely related to density, with highly significant difference (p <0.0001) (39.37±6.84%, 28.00±2.80% and 14.87±6.47%) for T1, T2 and T3, respectively. Simultaneously, cannibalism was directly related to planting density. The highest profitability was obtained with T2.
