- Abstract
The article discusses the effects of ammonia on mortality and feeding of postlarvae shrimp litopenaeus vannamei. The whiteleg shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei is a tropical species that is geographically distributed from Sonora, Mexico, to northern Peru. This decapod is cultured in extensive, intensive, and semi-intensive systems and is, with Litopenaeus stylirostris, the most popular shrimp for aquaculture in Mexico and Central and South America countries. The rearing of L. vannamei in closed systems results in metabolic wastes (as ammonia) accumulating in the ponds, even with frequent water replacement.
