Description

Shrimp breeding water

[0001] The present invention relates to shrimp breeding water used for shrimp farming.

[0002] Research has been conducted into the development of breeding water for land-based shrimp farming. Farmed shrimp are known for their rapid growth, taking approximately 3 to 4 months for them to grow from 0.5 cm juvenile shrimp to 12 to 15 cm edible shrimp. Vannamei shrimp, in particular, is gaining attention for its environmental adaptability, disease resistance, and growth rate, its ability to grow on low-protein feed, its high protein content after maturation, and its ability to survive for long periods outside of water, making it amenable to high profitability. However, an incorrect component ratio in the breeding water can reduce the survival rate of farmed shrimp. Therefore, there is a strong demand for breeding water that is suitable for improving production efficiency.

This allows the survival rate of farmed shrimp to be 75% or higher, thereby ensuring an improvement in the production efficiency of farmed shrimp.

[0013] In particular, according to the second aspect of the present invention, the shrimp rearing water has a third mass ratio of 0.7 to 1.3. This allows the survival rate of the farmed shrimp to be 78% or higher, thereby further improving the production efficiency of farmed shrimp.

[0014] In particular, according to the third aspect of the present invention, the shrimp rearing water has a first mass ratio of 0.7 to 4.0 and a second mass ratio of 0.5 to 4.0. This allows the survival rate of the farmed shrimp to be 82% or higher, thereby further improving the production efficiency of farmed shrimp.

[0015] In particular, according to the fourth aspect of the present invention, the shrimp rearing water has a first mass ratio of 1.0 to 4.0 and a second mass ratio of 1.0 to 3.0.

[0016] In particular, according to the fifth aspect of the present invention, the shrimp rearing water has a first mass ratio of 1.5 to 4.0 and a second mass ratio of 2.0 to 3.0. This allows the survival rate of the farmed shrimp to be 91% or higher, thereby further improving the production efficiency of farmed shrimp.

[0017] FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing an example of shrimp culture using shrimp breeding water according to this embodiment.

[0018] An example of a shrimp breeding water 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. Note that the components in each drawing are shown schematically for the purpose of explanation, and the size of each component and the size comparison between components may differ from those shown in the drawings.

[0019] (Shrimp breeding water 10) An example of the shrimp breeding water 10 in this embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. The shrimp breeding water 10 is used to cultivate farmed shrimp A using a shrimp farming system 1, for example, as shown in Figure 1.

[0020] The shrimp farming system 1 is an apparatus for cultivating farmed shrimp A. As shown in Fig. 1 , the shrimp farming system 1 includes a storage unit 11 that stores shrimp breeding water 10. The shrimp farming system 1 may further include, for example, a salinity adjusting unit 12 for adjusting the salinity in the storage unit 11. The shrimp farming system 1 may further include a filtration device 51, a disinfection device 52, an air bubble generator 53, a water quality monitoring device 54, a temperature control device 55, an automatic feeding device 56, a lighting unit 57, and artificial aquatic plants 6.

[0021] The shrimp farming system 1 is used in areas where it is difficult to obtain seawater or river water, such as land-based farming. The shrimp farming system 1 uses a closed circulation system in which water in a storage unit 11 is circulated to control the component ratio of the shrimp rearing water 10, but may also use a flow-through system in which seawater or water with a lower salinity than seawater is continuously drawn into the storage unit 11.

[0022] The shrimp breeding water 10 is contained in a container 11 and is used for culturing the cultured shrimp A in the container 11. The salinity of the shrimp breeding water 10 may be, for example, a salinity equivalent to that of seawater (approximately 3.400% by mass), or may be a salinity lower than that of seawater (approximately 0.007 to 0.500% by mass).

[0023] The shrimp breeding water 10 contains, as a main component, for example, Mg 2+ (Magnesium ion), Ca 2+ (Calcium ion), K + (potassium ion), SO4 2- (sulfate ions), including

[0024] The shrimp breeding water 10 contains, for example, Mg as the mass of solute per 1 L of breeding water. 2+ is less than 35 mg or more than 320 mg, Ca 2+ is less than 25 mg or more than 250 mg, K + If the solute content is less than 8 mg or more than 80 mg, the survival rate of the cultured shrimp A will be less than 60% due to incomplete molting or the like, and it will be impossible to reliably improve the production efficiency of the cultured shrimp A. For this reason, the shrimp rearing water 10 should contain 35 to 320 mg of Mg as the mass of solute per 1 L of the rearing water. 2+ and 25-250 mg of Ca. 2+ and 8 to 80 mg of K. + and

[0025] Also, K + Mg relative to the mass of 2+ The ratio of the masses of the first mass ratio, K + Ca relative to the mass of 2+ The mass ratio of Ca is defined as the second mass ratio. 2+ Mg relative to the mass of 2+is defined as the third mass ratio, if the first mass ratio is less than 0.7 or more than 5.0, the second mass ratio is less than 0.5 or more than 5.0, or the third mass ratio is less than 0.7 or more than 1.4, the survival rate of the cultured shrimp A will be less than 60% due to incomplete molting and the like, making it impossible to reliably improve the production efficiency of the cultured shrimp A. Therefore, it is preferable that the first mass ratio is 0.7 to 5.0, the second mass ratio is 0.5 to 5.0, and the third mass ratio is 0.7 to 1.4.

[0026] That is, the shrimp breeding water 10 contains 35 to 320 mg of Mg as the mass of solute per 1 L of breeding water. 2+ and 25-250 mg of Ca. 2+ and 8 to 80 mg of K. + and a first mass ratio (Mg 2+ mass / K + The second mass ratio (Ca 2+ mass / K + the third mass ratio (Mg 2+ Mass of Ca 2+ It is preferable that the mass of the shrimp A is 0.7 to 1.4. In this case, the survival rate of the cultured shrimp A is 75% or more, and the survival rate of the cultured shrimp A can be improved. This makes it possible to improve the efficiency of land-based culture of the cultured shrimp A. The relationship between the shrimp rearing water 10 and the survival rate of the cultured shrimp A will be described in detail later.

[0027] The third mass ratio of the shrimp rearing water 10 is preferably 0.7 to 1.3. In this case, the survival rate of the cultured shrimp A is 78% or more, which can further improve the survival rate of the cultured shrimp A and further improve the efficiency of land-based culture of the cultured shrimp A.

[0028] The shrimp rearing water 10 preferably satisfies the combination of a first mass ratio of 0.7 to 4.0 and a second mass ratio of 0.5 to 4.0, more preferably the combination of a first mass ratio of 1.0 to 4.0 and a second mass ratio of 1.0 to 3.0, and even more preferably the combination of a first mass ratio of 1.5 to 4.0 and a second mass ratio of 2.0 to 3.0. In this case, the survival rate of the cultured shrimp A is 82% or more, which can further improve the survival rate of the cultured shrimp A and further improve the efficiency of land-based culture of the cultured shrimp A.

[0029] The shrimp breeding water 10 is SO4 2- If it does not contain any SO4 2- Compared with the case containing SO4, problems occur in the molting of farmed shrimp A, resulting in an increased mortality rate. 2- In addition, the shrimp breeding water 10 preferably contains SO4 as the mass of solute per 1 L of breeding water. 2- It is preferable that the amount of the compound contained is 70 to 400 mg.

[0030] Generally, the environment of the shrimp breeding water 10 during shrimp breeding is such that the mass of solutes per 1 L of breeding water is about 80 to 100 mg of CaCl (Ca 2+ Functions similar to that of MgSO4, and about 250-300 mg of MgSO4 (Mg 2+ Similar function), K2SO4 is about 100 mg (K + It is desirable to maintain an environment with a total alkalinity of 120 mg / L and a pH of about 7.8. 2- It is involved in the osmoregulation of the body fluids of fish and crustaceans (adjusting the salt concentration inside and outside the body fluids), which may play an important role in life processes such as molting, and is an important part of the environmental conditions for living organisms such as fish and crustaceans. Therefore, in the shrimp breeding water 10, SO4 is also included as an important factor that affects the normal growth and survival of the cultivated shrimp A. 2- It is preferred that the formula (I) is included.

[0031] The mass (concentration) of each of the above ions is adjusted by adding the corresponding salt. 2+In the case of preparing shrimp rearing water 10 containing 40 mg / L of magnesium sulfate, the content can be adjusted by adding about 198.30 mg / L of magnesium sulfate. 2+ When the shrimp breeding water 10 contains 240 mg / L of magnesium sulfate, the amount can be adjusted by adding about 1,189.80 mg / L of magnesium sulfate.

[0032] In addition, Ca 2+ In the case of preparing shrimp breeding water 10 containing 30 mg / L of calcium chloride, the calcium chloride content can be adjusted by adding about 83.08 mg / L of calcium chloride. 2+ When the shrimp breeding water 10 contains 200 mg / L of calcium chloride, the amount can be adjusted by adding about 553.86 mg / L of calcium chloride.

[0033] Also, K + In the case of preparing shrimp rearing water 10 containing 10 mg / L of potassium sulfate, the amount can be adjusted by adding about 22.28 mg / L of potassium sulfate. + When the shrimp rearing water 10 contains 60 mg / L of potassium sulfate, the amount can be adjusted by adding about 133.68 mg / L of potassium sulfate.

[0034] The amounts of salt to be added are theoretical values ​​calculated assuming a water temperature of 28°C and a pH of 7.5, but in reality, the ions in the shrimp rearing water 10 are not always completely ionized, so the amount of salt actually required to be added may vary from the theoretical value. It should also be noted that the amount of salt required to be added may vary depending on various factors, including the solubility of each salt, the pH of the water, the temperature of the water, the influence of other dissolved substances, etc.

[0035] The shrimp rearing water 10 is monitored, for example, via a water quality monitoring device 54, for a barometer of the water quality required for rearing the cultured shrimp A. The shrimp rearing water 10 is controlled, for example, via a temperature control device 55, to a water temperature at which the cultured shrimp A can survive.

[0036] <Accommodation Unit 11> The accommodation unit 11 accommodates the shrimp breeding water 10 and the cultured shrimp A. The accommodation unit 11 is, for example, a fish preserve or a tank that accommodates the cultured shrimp A.

[0037] A circulation pipe 31 for circulating, for example, drained water is connected to the storage unit 11. Shrimp breeding water 10 is circulated through the storage unit 11 via the circulation pipe 31. A known water supply pipe such as a polyethylene pipe may be used as the circulation pipe 31.

[0038] The storage unit 11 is connected to, for example, a water supply pipe 32 for supplying water into the storage unit 11. Water may be supplied to the storage unit 11 from the salinity concentration adjusting unit 12 via, for example, the water supply pipe 32. As the water supply pipe 32, for example, a water pipe of the same quality as the circulation pipe 31 may be used.

[0039] The storage unit 11 is connected to, for example, a drain pipe 33 for discharging water from the storage unit 11. The storage unit 11 may drain water to, for example, the salinity concentration adjusting unit 12 via the drain pipe 33. As the drain pipe 33, for example, a water supply pipe of the same quality as the circulation pipe 31 may be used.

[0040] The storage unit 11 is supplied with water that has been filtered through, for example, a filtration device 51. The storage unit 11 is supplied with water that has been disinfected through, for example, a disinfection device 52.

[0041] <Salt concentration adjusting unit 12> The salinity adjusting unit 12 adjusts the salinity of the shrimp breeding water 10 in the housing unit 11. The salinity adjusting unit 12 may continuously reduce or increase the salinity of the shrimp breeding water 10 in the housing unit 11, or may intermittently reduce or increase the salinity.

[0042] The salinity concentration adjusting unit 12 has, for example, a water supply tank 13 and a wastewater tank 14 .

[0043] The water supply tank 13 stores dilution water 130 having a salinity lower than the salinity at which marine organisms can survive, for example. The water supply tank 13 supplies the dilution water 130 to the storage unit 11 via, for example, a water supply pipe 32. The dilution water 130 may be, for example, groundwater or dechlorinated tap water.

[0044] The wastewater tank 14 stores, for example, a part of the shrimp breeding water 10 discharged from the housing unit 11 as wastewater 140. The wastewater tank 14 receives the wastewater 140 discharged from the housing unit 11 via a drainage pipe 33, for example.

[0045] <Cultivated Shrimp A> The cultivated shrimp A includes shrimp that fall under marine organisms and shrimp that fall under freshwater organisms. The cultivated shrimp A also includes shrimp that fall under marine organisms and have been acclimatized to a freshwater environment by the salinity concentration adjusting unit 12.

[0046] The cultured shrimp A is, for example, edible shrimp, and juvenile shrimp are particularly used. When juvenile shrimp are used, the cultured shrimp A can be efficiently acclimatized to the shrimp rearing water 10, which has a lower salt concentration than seawater, and is therefore suitable. Specific examples of the cultured shrimp A include Penaeidae (penguin shrimp, whiteleg shrimp, banana shrimp, etc.), Primarinae (cherry shrimp, etc.), Palaemonidae (king shrimp, botan shrimp, Pandalus gracilis, etc.), and Spinylodonidae (spiny lobster, etc.).

[0047] The farmed shrimp A are automatically fed with food, for example, via an automatic feeding device 56.

[0048] <Filtering Device 51> The filtering device 51 filters the water supplied to the storage unit 11. The filtering device 51 may be provided outside the storage unit 11 or may be provided inside the storage unit 11.

[0049] The filtration device 51 filters, for example, the circulating water supplied to the storage unit 11 via the circulation piping 31 or the dilution water 130 supplied to the storage unit 11 via the water supply piping 32. In this case, the filtration device 51 may be provided inside the circulation piping 31 or the water supply piping 32.

[0050] The filter device 51 includes, for example, a known filter medium, specifically a sponge for physical filtration, a porous filter medium with bacteria for biological filtration, activated carbon for chemical filtration, or the like.

[0051] <Disinfection Device 52> The disinfection device 52 disinfects the water supplied to the storage unit 11. The disinfection device 52 may be provided outside the storage unit 11 or may be provided inside the storage unit 11.

[0052] The disinfection device 52 disinfects, for example, the circulating water supplied to the storage unit 11 via the circulation pipe 31 or the dilution water 130 supplied to the storage unit 11 via the water supply pipe 32. In this case, the disinfection device 52 may be provided in the circulation pipe 31 or the water supply pipe 32.

[0053] The disinfection device 52 may be, for example, a known ultraviolet sterilization and purification device, an ozone generator, or a hypochlorous acid water generator.

[0054] <Bubble Generator 53> The bubble generator 53 generates oxygen nanobubble water or the like (including oxygen nanobubble water and / or oxygen microbubble water) by blowing gas containing at least oxygen into the water supplied to the storage unit 11. The bubble generator 53 may be provided outside the storage unit 11 or may be provided inside the storage unit 11.

[0055] The bubble generator 53 generates oxygen nanobubble water or the like by blowing a gas containing at least oxygen into, for example, the circulating water supplied to the storage unit 11 via the circulation pipe 31 or the dilution water 130 supplied to the storage unit 11 via the water supply pipe 32. In this case, the bubble generator 53 may be provided in the circulation pipe 31 or the water supply pipe 32.

[0056] The method for generating oxygen nanobubble water or the like using the bubble generator 53 involves pressurizing a gas such as oxygen or air, dissolving it in the water supplied to the container 11 in a supersaturated state, and then rapidly reducing the pressure to generate nanobubbles or the like (including nanobubbles and microbubbles) in the liquid. Oxygen nanobubble water refers to water containing fine oxygen gas bubbles with a nanometer-order diameter (1 μm or less). However, in addition to the nanometer-order fine oxygen gas bubbles, fine oxygen gas bubbles with a micrometer-order diameter (1 to 100 μm) may also be contained. Alternatively, the microbubbles may be floated and separated, leaving only the nanobubbles in the liquid. The bubble generator 53 may also generate oxygen nanobubble water or the like containing oxygen as at least nanometer-sized fine bubbles, including either oxygen nanobubbles or air nanobubbles, or both. A specific example of oxygen nanobubble water is water containing approximately 90% of bubbles with a diameter of 200 nm or less, with an average diameter of 50 nm to 100 nm, and a bubble concentration of 2×10 8 Pieces / L~6×10 9 pcs / L.

[0057] Examples of details of the bubble generator 53 include a "swirl flow method" in which oxygen bubbles are created by mixing oxygen gas with water and swirling it at high speed, a "pressure dissolution method" in which oxygen bubbles are created by applying pressure to oxygen gas, dissolving it in water, and then releasing it all at once, a "micropore method" in which oxygen bubbles are created by applying pressure to oxygen gas and passing it through micropores such as orifices, an "ultrasonic method" in which cavitation is used to cause the oxygen gas in water to expand and create oxygen bubbles, a "static mixer method" in which bubbles are created by swirling and crushing gas in a gas-liquid flow path equipped with protrusions, and an "ejector method" or "venturi method" in which bubbles are created by creating a sudden pressure change in the gas-liquid flow path. However, the method for generating oxygen nanobubble water, etc. is not particularly limited, and any method can be used as long as it can generate nanobubble water, etc. containing fine oxygen gas on the nano- or micro-order.

[0058] By turning oxygen into fine nanobubble-like bubbles, the T1 relaxation time (the time from when the water movement (nuclear spin) becomes active due to nuclear magnetization until it returns to a quiet state) is improved compared to ordinary distilled water, i.e., the motility is increased, and the mobility of the substances contained in the storage unit 11 is improved. This makes it easier for the oxygen nanobubble water, the feed being fed, the farmed shrimp A, etc. to come into contact with each other within the storage unit 11, and the growth of the farmed shrimp A can be further promoted.

[0059] <Water Quality Monitoring Device 54> The water quality monitoring device 54 monitors a barometer of the water quality of the shrimp breeding water 10. The water quality monitoring device 54 monitors, for example, the dissolved oxygen concentration (mg / L), pH (Potential Hydrogen), NH4 + Concentration (mg / L), NO2 - Concentration (mg / L), NO3 - The manager of the shrimp farming system 1 refers to the monitoring results of the water quality monitoring device 54 and, if necessary, supplies a pH adjuster such as lime water to the housing unit 11 to adjust the water quality of the shrimp rearing water 10.

[0060] As the water quality monitoring device 54, for example, a known automatic water quality monitoring device may be used.

[0061] <Temperature Control Device 55> The temperature control device 55 controls the water temperature of the shrimp breeding water 10. As the temperature control device 55, for example, a known heater with a built-in thermostat may be used.

[0062] <Automatic Feeder 56> The automatic feeder 56 automatically supplies feed to the cultured shrimp A in the shrimp breeding water 10. As the automatic feeder 56, a known automatic fish feeder may be used.

[0063] <Illumination Unit 57> The illumination unit 57 irradiates the shrimp rearing water 10 with green light L. The illumination unit 57 continuously irradiates the green light L during the rearing period of the cultured shrimp A. In this case, the weight of the cultured shrimp A can be increased efficiently. This ensures the growth of the cultured shrimp A to be promoted even in an environment with a lower salinity than seawater.

[0064] According to "New Technology: Growth Promotion of Spotted Flounder and Flatfish by Irradiating Green Light, by Takahashi Akiyoshi, Shimizu Daisuke, Tsuru Kumiko, Kiyabu Hitoshi, and Mizusawa Kanta, Monthly Aquanet, April 2019 issue / separate print," it has been proven that irradiation with specific colors increases the weight of flatfish in general and is effective in promoting efficient growth. In terms of the relationship between color and growth promotion effect, it was confirmed that green, blue-green, and blue are most effective in increasing weight in that order. In more detail, flatfish seedlings (average weight 20.6g) were stocked in three square concrete land tanks (4.5m x 4.5m, water depth approximately 30cm) with 600 fish in each tank (stocking density 30 fish / m 2 The weight changes over a period of approximately one year were measured for a control group, where shrimp were housed in a greenhouse under natural light and natural photoperiod, and a group exposed to 12 hours of green LED light from Stanley Electric Co., Ltd., from 6:00 to 18:00. The average weight of the exposed group (776.1±26.2 g) was 61% higher than that of the control group (481.6±18.9 g). Thus, it was confirmed that green light irradiation using an LED as a light source can promote the growth of flounder even in aquariums used in aquaculture farms. Similar lighting equipment and illumination conditions may also be used for the shrimp farming system 1 of the present invention.

[0065] <Artificial aquatic plants 6> The artificial aquatic plants 6 are provided in advance in the storage section 11. The artificial aquatic plants 6 can prevent the cultured shrimp A from swimming together in the storage section 11 and cannibalism, thereby suppressing a decrease in the survival rate of the cultured shrimp A. As the artificial aquatic plants 6, for example, artificial spawning algae such as Kinran (registered trademark) (made of vinylon) manufactured by Kyorin Corporation can be used.

[0066] According to this embodiment, the shrimp breeding water 10 contains 35 to 320 mg of Mg 2+ and 25-250 mg of Ca. 2+ and 8 to 80 mg of K. + and wherein the first mass ratio is 0.7 to 5.0, the second mass ratio is 0.5 to 5.0, and the third mass ratio is 0.7 to 1.4. This allows the survival rate of the cultured shrimp A to be 75% or higher, thereby ensuring an improvement in the production efficiency of the cultured shrimp A.

[0067] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the shrimp rearing water 10 has a third mass ratio of 0.7 to 1.3. Therefore, the survival rate of the cultured shrimp A can be increased to 78% or more. This makes it possible to further reliably improve the production efficiency of the cultured shrimp A.

[0068] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the shrimp rearing water 10 has a first mass ratio of 0.7 to 4.0 and a second mass ratio of 0.5 to 4.0. This allows the survival rate of the cultured shrimp A to be 82% or higher. This further ensures an improvement in the production efficiency of the cultured shrimp A.

[0069] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the shrimp rearing water 10 has a first mass ratio of 1.0 to 4.0 and a second mass ratio of 1.0 to 3.0. This allows the survival rate of the cultured shrimp A to be 89% or higher. This further ensures an improvement in the production efficiency of the cultured shrimp A.

[0070] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the shrimp rearing water 10 has a first mass ratio of 1.5 to 4.0 and a second mass ratio of 2.0 to 3.0. This allows the survival rate of the cultured shrimp A to be 91% or higher. This further ensures an improvement in the production efficiency of the cultured shrimp A.

[0071] The relationship between the shrimp rearing water 10 and the survival rate of the cultured shrimp A will be specifically described below in detail with reference to examples of the present invention and comparative examples using the above-described embodiment.

[0072] <Experimental Conditions for Survival Rate of Cultured Shrimp A> In this experiment, the shrimp breeding water 10 in which the cultured shrimp A was raised contained 100 mg of solute per 1 L of the breeding water. 2+ , Ca 2+ , K. + The survival rates of the cultured shrimp A at each mass and mass ratio were compared to confirm the production efficiency of the cultured shrimp A. The survival rate in this example was the survival rate of the cultured shrimp A on the 90th day after the start of rearing from seed shrimp larvae. Green artificial aquatic plants were placed as the artificial aquatic plants 6 in the shrimp rearing water 10 in this experiment.

[0073] In this experiment, whiteleg shrimp were used as the cultivated shrimp A. Specifically, juvenile shrimp less than one month after hatching, with an average body length of approximately 0.8 cm and an average body weight of approximately 0.2 g were used. The number of whiteleg shrimp used in each experiment was 2,000 per condition (per test group). A 2,000 L tank capable of accommodating 2,000 whiteleg shrimp was used as the housing unit 11.

[0074] The feed for the farmed shrimp A was supplied using an automatic feeder "EV500" manufactured by EVNICE fish feeder. For farmed shrimp A with a body length of 6 cm or less, feed with a protein content of about 38% by mass or more was supplied. Similarly, for farmed shrimp A with a body length of more than 6 cm but less than 10 cm, feed with a protein content of about 36 to 38% by mass or more was supplied, and for farmed shrimp A with a body length of 10 cm or more, feed with a protein content of about 32 to 36% by mass or more was supplied. The appropriate amount of feed for the farmed shrimp was 5% of the body weight of the farmed shrimp A per day, which was supplied in nine or more divided portions per day.

[0075] The rearing environment for the farmed shrimp A is as follows: rearing density 5 kg / m3, water temperature of the shrimp rearing water 10 28 to 32°C, dissolved oxygen content of the shrimp rearing water 10 6.5 to 10.0 mg / L, pH of the shrimp rearing water 10 6.8 to 8.2, NH4+ The concentration is 0.0 to 0.5 mg / L, and the NO2 - The concentration is 0.0 to 0.5 mg / L, and the NO3 - The concentration was adjusted to 100 mg / L or less. Additionally, the shrimp breeding water 10 was circulated at 40 L / min using a water pump manufactured by Eheim GmbH & Co. KG, and air was blown using an air pump "AP-100F." The temperature inside the housing section 11 was controlled using an aquarium cooler "ZR-250" as the temperature control device 55.

[0076] The shrimp breeding water 10 contains Mg 2+ , Ca 2+ , K. + In addition, SO4 2- Approximately 50mg / L, Sr 2+ Artificial seawater containing approximately 8 mg / L of strontium ions and having a salinity of approximately 3.2% was used. 2- Concentration, Sr 2+ The concentration and salinity were not intentionally increased or decreased.

[0077] The solute mass in the shrimp breeding water 10 compared in this experiment was Mg as the mass of solute per 1 L of breeding water. 2+ 25 to 350 mg, Ca 2+ 20 to 320 mg, K + was set at multiple combinations selected between 5 and 90 mg.

[0078] Also, Mg 2+ , Ca 2+ , K. + For each of the above, a first mass ratio (Mg 2+ mass / K + mass), second mass ratio (Ca 2+ mass / K + ), and the third mass ratio (Mg 2+ Mass of Ca 2+ The survival rate of the farmed shrimp A was evaluated as "Evaluation: Good" when it was over 60% and "Evaluation: Bad" when it was less than 60%. 2+ , Ca 2+ , K. +The mass combinations and mass ratios were confirmed.

[0079] <Experimental Results Regarding Survival Rate of Farmed Shrimp A> The results of this experiment are shown in Table 1.

[0080]

[0081] According to Table 1, the survival rates of the vannamei shrimp in each example with a rating of "Good" are as follows: Inventive Example 1 (Mg 2+ :240mg / L, Ca 2+ :180mg / L, K + : 60 mg / L) was 99%, and Example 2 of the present invention (Mg 2+ :45mg / L, Ca 2+ : 60 mg / L, K + : 30 mg / L) was 92%, and Example 3 of the present invention (Mg 2+ :40mg / L, Ca 2+ : 60 mg / L, K + : 20 mg / L) was 91%, and Example 4 of the present invention (Mg 2+ :30mg / L, Ca 2+ : 30 mg / L, K + : 30 mg / L) was 89%, and Example 5 of the present invention (Mg 2+ :40mg / L, Ca 2+ : 30 mg / L, K + : 60 mg / L) was 86%, and Example 6 of the present invention (Mg 2+ :200mg / L, Ca 2+ :200mg / L, K + : 50 mg / L) was 82%, and Example 7 of the present invention (Mg 2+ :200mg / L, Ca 2+ :120mg / L, K + : 40 mg / L) was 78%, and Example 8 of the present invention (Mg 2+ :320mg / L, Ca 2+ :250mg / L, K + : 80 mg / L) was 78%, and Example 9 of the present invention (Mg 2+ :35mg / L, Ca 2+ : 25 mg / L, K + : 8 mg / L) was 76%, and Example 10 of the present invention (Mg 2+ :60mg / L, Ca 2+ : 50 mg / L, K +The survival rate of these invention examples 1 to 10 was over 60%, so they were given an "evaluation: good".

[0082] In Examples 1 to 10 of the present invention, the shrimp breeding water 10 contains 35 to 320 mg of Mg as the mass of solute per 1 L of breeding water. 2+ and 25-250 mg of Ca. 2+ and 8 to 80 mg of K. + and wherein the first mass ratio is 0.7 to 5.0, the second mass ratio is 0.5 to 5.0, and the third mass ratio is 0.7 to 1.4. As a result, the survival rate of the cultured shrimp A was increased to 75% or more. This ensures an improvement in the production efficiency of the cultured shrimp A.

[0083] In particular, it was confirmed that even higher survival rates were achieved, such as a survival rate of 78% or higher when the third mass ratio was 0.7 to 1.3 (Invention Examples 1 to 8), a survival rate of 82% or higher when the first mass ratio was 0.7 to 4.0 and the second mass ratio was 0.5 to 4.0 (Invention Examples 1 to 6), a survival rate of 89% or higher when the first mass ratio was 1.0 to 4.0 and the second mass ratio was 1.0 to 3.0 (Invention Examples 1 to 4), and a survival rate of 91% or higher when the first mass ratio was 1.5 to 4.0 and the second mass ratio was 2.0 to 3.0 (Invention Examples 1 to 3). This allows for even more reliable improvement in the production efficiency of cultured shrimp A.

[0084] The survival rates of the vannamei shrimp in each example with an "Evaluation: ×" were as follows: Comparative Example 1 (with Mg 2+ :320mg / L, Ca 2+ :250mg / L, K + : 90 mg / L) was 52%, Comparative Example 2 (Mg 2+ :320mg / L, Ca 2+ :260mg / L, K + : 80 mg / L) was 52%, Comparative Example 3 (Mg 2+ :350mg / L, Ca 2+ :320mg / L, K + : 80 mg / L) was 48%, Comparative Example 4 (Mg 2+ :30mg / L, Ca 2+ : 35 mg / L, K + : 8 mg / L) was 32%, Comparative Example 5 (Mg 2+:35mg / L, Ca 2+ : 20 mg / L, K + : 8 mg / L) was 30%, Comparative Example 6 (Mg 2+ :320mg / L, Ca 2+ : 20 mg / L, K + : 80 mg / L) was 12%, Comparative Example 7 (Mg 2+ :350mg / L, Ca 2+ : 35 mg / L, K + : 8 mg / L) was 8%, Comparative Example 8 (Mg 2+ :35mg / L, Ca 2+ :260mg / L, K + : 8 mg / L) was 8%, Comparative Example 9 (Mg 2+ :35mg / L, Ca 2+ : 25 mg / L, K + : 90 mg / L) was 5%, Comparative Example 10 (Mg 2+ :25mg / L, Ca 2+ : 35 mg / L, K + : 5 mg / L) was 5%, Comparative Example 11 (Mg 2+ :250mg / L, Ca 2+ :320mg / L, K + : 5 mg / L) was 4%, Comparative Example 12 (Mg 2+ :30mg / L, Ca 2+ :320mg / L, K + : 80 mg / L) was 2%.

[0095] In Comparative Example 11, K + Since the concentration is less than 8 mg / L, the survival rate of the cultured shrimp A cannot be increased, and the production efficiency of the cultured shrimp A cannot be reliably improved.

[0096] In Comparative Example 12, Mg 2+ Since the concentration is less than 35 mg / L, the survival rate of the cultured shrimp A cannot be increased, and the production efficiency of the cultured shrimp A cannot be reliably improved.

[0097] That is, the shrimp rearing water 10 suitable for improving the survival rate of the cultured shrimp A has a solute mass of 35 to 320 mg Mg per 1 L of rearing water. 2+ and 25-250 mg of Ca. 2+ and 8 to 80 mg of K. + and wherein the first mass ratio is 0.7 to 5.0, the second mass ratio is 0.5 to 5.0, and the third mass ratio is 0.7 to 1.4.
