Acompanhamento e descrição do cultivo semi-intensivo de Penaeus vannamei na fazenda Aquisa Aquicultura Samaria LTDA.

Abstract

The stagnation of fishing in 1980 opened space for aquaculture to become a promising activity to supply world demand for fish. Brazil ranks 13th among the world's largest producers, showing characteristics that indicate its great potential for activity. Shrimp farming is the area that deals with shrimp farming, accounting for 24.6% of total aquaculture sales. Occupying the 11th place among the largest producers of this area Brazil has a prominent place, where Ceará in 2017 was responsible for the second largest production among the Brazilian states. Given the importance of shrimp farming for the state of Ceará, this report describes the activities followed and carried out during the training period at the farm AQUISA Aquicultura Samaria Ltda., located in the municipality of Paraipaba-CE. The main activity of the farm is the production of marine shrimp of the species Penaeus vannamei in salt water, with semi-intensive system and single-phase cultivation in semi-excavated nurseries. The stage occurred from July 4 to August 4, 2018. The water used in the production was collected by means of pumps in the Rio Curu, and the farm also worked with a recirculation system through connections between channels supply and drainage. Several activities were followed with the objective of producing these animals, of which the following are mentioned: the management of level boards; preparation and fertilization of nursery; the reception of post larvae and settlement of fattening nurseries; monitoring and management of parameters water quality; food management; periodic biometrics and; harvest. With the present work, it can be concluded that the supervised stage is a highly relevant activity for the application and aggregation of new theoretical and mainly practical knowledge on the production of aquatic organisms, being the AQUISA Aquicultura Samaria Ltda. farm, an excellent opportunity to follow the activities carried out in the cultivation of marine shrimp. In addition, the completion of the internship still in graduation, allows the future professional of Fishing Engineering, an experience that can make the difference for the insertion of him in the labor market.
