Abstract

Se realizaron dos experimentos en un esfuerzo por determinar los efectos de la densidad, calidad del agua, rendimiento de la tilapia y distribución y balance de nutrientes. El experimento fue diseñado para un cultivo intensivo de tilapia Oreochromis niloticus utilizando un sistema de recirculación de acuacultura (RAS). La mayor producción de tilapia fue para el tratamiento con mayor densidad de cultivo. Durante el periodo de estudio las concentraciones de nitrógeno total, nitritos, nitratos, fósforo total y fósforo disuelto en todos los tratamientos permanecieron en un intervalo seguro para la tilapia. El alimento fue la principal fuente de aporte de nutrientes, del total de las entradas el alimento representó del 71-75% de nitrógeno y 53-65% de fósforo. El balance de nutrientes reveló que del 40-43% de nitrógeno y 61-70% del fósforo que ingresó en el alimento se recuperó en los peces cosechados. Para la producción de un kilogramo de tilapia se requirió de 1.8-1.9 kg de alimento en los diferentes tratamientos, en tanto que 11-15 g de nitrógeno y 26-28 g de fósforo fueron liberados en el agua, como los desechos metabólicos. El agua drenada durante la cosecha representó un 13.0% de nitrógeno y 12.4% de fósforo del total de las entradas. El estudio demostró que sistema de cultivo de tilapia RAS puede mantener una calidad del agua aceptable para el crecimiento de la tilapia, aumentar la eficiencia y reducir la pérdida de nutrientes a través de los efluentes de los estanques.
