Caracterização da carcinicultura em águas interiores no agreste paraibano.

Abstract

In view of the growth of shrimp farming in Brazil, and in the Northeast region, the interest arose to characterize the breeding of marine shrimp (Litpenaeus vannamei) in inland waters in the state of Paraíba, detecting the way producers are producing. Therefore, in order to reach the obtained results, a qualitative and quantitative field research was carried out, with the application of a Participatory Rural Diagnosis, with information regarding the activity, applying a questionnaire in the cities of Araçagi, Alagoa Grande, Algodão de Jandaíra, Alagoinha, Bananeiras, Cuitegi, Duas Estradas, Guarabira, Pirpirituba and Remigio, which resulted in 18 respondents, which was organized in Excel spreadsheet presented through charts. It was found the use of excavated nurseries in shrimp production. All carried out studies before implementation, but most producers do not have an environmental license, the workforce is performed by two employees. The technical assistance offered is private, occurs weekly and is performed by a zootechnist. Shrimp farmers carry out nursery treatment and water quality control and use probiotics. Biometrics is measured weekly. Control with water quality is one of the biggest problems reported, but post-larval mortality and energy were also mentioned, but most reported no production problems due to the presence of technical assistance when needed.
