Abstract

AbstractA non‐sea‐salt ionic solution that supports the culture of Pacific white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei is described. Each 1‐g/L solution consists of sodium chloride at a concentration of 754 mg/L, magnesium chloride at 57 mg/L, magnesium sulfate at 122 mg/L, potassium chloride at 16 mg/L, calcium chloride at 46 mg/L, and sodium bicarbonate at 6 mg/L. Shrimp cultured in a 15‐g/L concentration of this solution for 42 d demonstrated survival, growth, total harvest weight, and feed conversion ratios similar to those of shrimp cultured in 15‐g/L seawater. The results of this study may be useful for the development of marine shrimp culture in inland facilities.
