Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to a method and apparatus for aquatic animal husbandry and in particular for marine animals.
  • the invention is particularly directed toward incubation, hatching and rearing of crustaceans, especially crabs, but is not necessarily restricted to this process.
  • Aquatic animals have long formed part of the staple diet of many cultures. With the gradual world-wide depletion of the numbers of edible marine, estuarine and fresh water species, attention has inevitably turned to aquaculture as a substitute for wild-sourced food supplies for both people and animals.
  • the numbers of fertilised eggs in these species may be very high, the developmental process is also accompanied by very high mortality rates which on occasion may approach 100%.
  • the early stages of aquatic life are particularly predisposed to mortality as a result of environmental stress from sudden changes in water characteristics such as temperature, concentration of salt, other dissolved components, toxins and pathogens. Failure to successfully negotiate the various life stages in early development of aquatic animals has led to significant difficulty in obtaining adequate numbers of some species to warrant the associated economic outlay and input of labour and resources of artificial rearing.
  • the invention resides in a method of aquatic animal husbandry comprising the steps of collecting fertilised eggs, incubating the eggs until hatched as larvae, culturing the larvae until they metamorphise into juvenile animals and, at least partially, raising the juvenile animals.
  • the aquatic animals are marine animals.
  • the marine animals may be crustaceans.
  • the crustaceans may be crabs.
  • marine may be understood to include a reference to an estuarine habitat.

  • the present shape is described by way of preferred example only. It is clear that a variety of tank shapes and sizes can be used with various liquid capacities. The inventors however, have found that a convenient volume of tank is approximately 1000-5000 litres in the main tank.
  • the smaller sump tank is preferably sized to hold 20-25% of the volume of the main tank.
  • the tanks are in fluid connection via a main tank outlet (15) which is engaged with an elbow (16) which in turn is connected to a substantially vertical uplift pipe (17) having a gas outlet (18) at its upper region which communicates with the environmental atmosphere.
  • the uplift pipe (17) also includes a T-piece (19) which connects to a delivery pipe or sump tank inlet (20) for discharging water into the sump tank.
  • air is pumped into the uplift pipe (17) to provide a bubbling air lift effect for transporting liquid from the main tank (11), up the uplift pipe (17) and subsequently along the delivery pipe (20) to discharge into the sump tank (12).
  • Air pumped into the uplift pipe (17) is discharged via the gas outlet (18).
  • Coarse bubbles are introduced at the bottom of the vertical section of the pipe connecting the 2 tanks through an air diffuser. Coarse bubbles are preferred as they cause less damage to the live food animals.

  • a particular advantage of this system is that it allows alteration of characteristics of the water or culture medium in the main tank (11 ) indirectly through addition or removal of ingredients from the sump tank (12). Introduction of the changes may therefore be gradual and relatively even, being controlled by the flow rate of water through sump tank overflow (24). It is well known that sudden alterations in conditions inside the main tank can lead to stress on the life forms contained within it. As an example of this, the use of immersion heaters in the main tank is known to increase the mortality rate. Using the heater as an example it is clear that the localised area of heating which occurs around such a device is quarantined from the main tank in the present invention and transfer of heat will be gradual through the mixing in the main tank of warmed water from the sump tank.

If the level of food is too high or simply as an ongoing husbandry habit a filter bag of approximately 60 /m pore size may be secured over the discharge into the sump tank (20) and left as long as appropriate to filter food particles from the water. This may be a set time or alternatively may be assessed by determination of the level of non-desired particles of food in the liquid.
  • Light aeration may be supplied to the main culture tank (11 ) through airstones of sufficient number and spacing to ensure there is slow and continuous movement of water in all parts of the tank.
  • a light aeration rate may be around 250mL of air per minute introduced from a small air diffuser (25 mm long, 10 mm diameter) at the bottom of the tank. Multiple diffusers may be used.
  • biofiltration media are included within the sump tank to act as a particulate matter trap and control nitrogen metabolite levels.
  • a suitable medium is a small plastic spheroid product that is the same as that used for aquariums (ie aquarium beads, biofilter beads). They are designed to have a very high surface area to volume ratio.
  • the pore spaces are wide enough to allow passage of the live feeds (rotifers and artemia) and to allow quick and effective cleaning while still giving adequate nitrogenous waste conversion efficiency.
  • the particulate material is easily removed which also reduces the risks of proliferation of undesirable bacteria.
  • in-flow of water into the main culture tank (11 ) promotes a lateral flow of water. This allows larvae more stability within the water column and also allows them to remain in the optimum position, particularly in relation to live food which is able to aggregate near the surface of the liquid. This effectively increases the food density in the area where the larvae tend to place themselves and reduces damage to the larvae.
  • the flow rate into the main culture tank (11 ) may be altered and adjusted to suit the requirements of different larval stages.
  • the optimum physico-chemical parameters of the water or culture medium for different stages and species vary in relation to features such as salinity and temperature. It is therefore important that the culture system allow for control of these parameters to maintain a healthy stable environment. Where culture conditions need to be changed during, for example, the larval culture cycle, it is preferred to have a system where manipulation can be performed easily and without shock and stress to the larvae.
  • the present assembly provides a volume of culture medium outside the culture tank where changes can be made and then slowly introduced, for example, the larval environment after partial dilution in the sump tank.
  • the invention resides in a method of husbandry of juvenile or larval forms of aquatic animals comprising the incubation of eggs, hatching of eggs, culturing of larvae and maintenance and rearing of juveniles.
  • the following description is directed towards crabs but it should be understood that the method may be applied to species other than crab and indeed to species that are not crustaceans.
  • To incubate eggs berried females (egg carrying crabs) are held in a large tank at low density which is preferably less than 1 crab per square metre.
  • the conditions in the tank may be controlled to provide a low stress hygienic environment, so that the eggs may proceed through embryonic development to the pre-hatching stage. It is preferred that feed is not supplied to the spawner crabs during incubation.
  • This husbandry technique has the advantage of avoiding an increased risk of bacterial and fungal growth within the sponge (or egg mass).
  • Water used in the tank is preferably seawater and may be pre-treated by filtering to 1 ⁇ m and subsequently allowed to settle in a storage tank for at least seven days, after which the water may be used to fill the egg incubation tank.
  • Use of pre-treated seawater is advantageous over other prior art methods as failure to treat the seawater increases the risk of bacterial and fungal infection of eggs.
  • Settled seawater gives reliable results and is also chemical free thereby establishing a more stable vigorous and healthy microbial flora.
  • the maintenance of hygiene during the holding period reduces the threat of potential disease organisms.
  • Methods which require the use of antibiotics or antimicrobials to prevent contamination of the eggs are undesirable for sustainable long term culture techniques.
  • prophylactic antibiotics is well known for the tendency to select for resistant bacterial strains and subsequent long term tank contamination.
  • the temperature may be held steady and preferably in the range of about 27 to about 28°C. This temperature may be controlled by heaters if necessary in a more temperate climate.
  • Salinity is preferably maintained stable between around 32 to around 35ppt and pH is preferably maintained in the range of 8.0 - 8.5.
  • Oxygen may be maintained at dissolved saturation levels and ammonia is preferably kept to negligible levels of less than 0.1 part per million.
  • a preferred husbandry practice is to clean the tank bottom of debris daily and also scrub or brush the bottom with an appropriate device.
  • the development and condition of the eggs are monitored on a regular basis by microscopic examination of small numbers of excised eggs.
  • Culling thresholds may be instituted based on pre-selected criteria such as fertilisation rate of the eggs being less than 70%; egg mortality rate being greater than 5%; proliferation of fungal hyphae; dense growth of filamentous bacteria on the surface of the eggs; high rate of egg loss from the sponge and a high range of developmental rates throughout the sponge. Removing crabs that fail one or more of these threshold tests results in the maintenance of high viability, healthy eggs, with relatively consistent rates of development throughout the sponge.
  • the day of hatching of the eggs may be predicted by the stage of embryo development as seen under a microscope.
  • the spawner On the day of hatching the spawner may be transferred from an incubation tank to a hatch tank about an hour before hatching is due to commence. Hatching time of the larvae is predictable and typically will occur within a short time of sunrise.
  • the hatch tank may be a cylindro-conical shape and have a capacity of around 1000 litres.
  • a light aeration rate may be supplied from the bottom of the tank to ensure slow water movement.
  • settled seawater is used to fill the hatch tank.
  • the physico-chemical parameters of the hatch tank may be the same or similar to the seawater used in the incubation tank.
  • spawners are added directly to a larval culture tank omitting the hatch tank step. This type of approach increases the potential for disease transmission from the spawner crab to the newly hatched larvae.
  • the spawner crabs are held in a floating cage with one spawner per hatch tank.
  • the advantage of placing a spawner in an individual cage allows for the hatched spawner to be removed from the hatch tank as soon as hatching is complete, reducing the risk of disease transmission to the newly hatched larvae and subsequent contamination of the larval culture tank with egg casings and spawner faeces.
  • the spawner is monitored on a continuous basis around the time of hatching and as soon as hatching is complete the crab is removed from the tank. Completion of hatching may be detected by the absence of eggs under the abdomen and cessation of spawner hatching behaviour. Spawner hatching behaviour in a crab is shown by the female becoming more agitated with increased movements, walking around the cage and rising up high on her legs. When hatching is imminent, a "flicking" or “flexing” of the abdomen occurs. This effects a dislodgment of eggs and larvae from the sponge.
  • the larvae may be collected from the hatch tank by one of two preferred methods depending on the normal larval behaviour of the species being reared.
  • the first method involves scooping with a small ladle from a dense aggregation at the surface of the water.
  • syphoning may be used with discharge from the syphoning hose passed through a collection sieve.
  • the larvae are preferably collected from the hatch tank shortly after hatching and most preferably within 15-30minut.es. This collection time allows sufficient time for the larvae to moult and harden their shell before collection and to subsequently stock them to a lower density prior to their health being compromised through remaining in the hatch tank for extended periods of greater than 1 hour.
  • In transferring the larvae from the hatch tank to the larval culture tank it is preferred to concentrate the larvae into a small volume of water to avoid or minimise the chance of cross contamination from the tanks.
  • the water quality of the hatch tank is preferably kept at the same as the larval culture tank to limit or minimise any shock to the larvae upon transfer.
  • the collected larvae may first be added to a sieve and larval culture tank seawater may be slowly passed through the sieve to allow for a 20-30 minute acclimation period before the larvae are added to the culture tank.
  • the tank assembly previously described may be used during any of the stages of development of aquatic animals. However, it is particularly suited to act as a larval culture system.
  • the optimum physico-chemical parameters of the culture medium for larvae such as salinity and temperature may vary among species. It is therefore important that the system allow for control of the parameters to maintain a healthy and stable environment.
  • Newly hatched larvae are stocked into the culture tank at a preselected rate.
  • the preferred stocking rate is approximately 100 larvae per litre.
  • Feed-type transitions may be instituted at zoea 2 to zoea 3 and at zoea to megalop. Preferably these transitions involve overlap of the feed types so that larvae are acclimated to new feed over approximately 2 days.
  • an important feature of the feed relates to particulate diet size, which may be increased with progressive stages of the larvae, and may be 100 /m diameter at zoeal , 250 ⁇ m starting at zoea 3 to the final zoeal stage 500 ⁇ m at the megalop stage and 800-1 OOO ⁇ m at the first crablet stage.
  • particulate diet size may be 100 /m diameter at zoeal , 250 ⁇ m starting at zoea 3 to the final zoeal stage 500 ⁇ m at the megalop stage and 800-1 OOO ⁇ m at the first crablet stage.
  • the particulate diet preferably consists of a combination of artificial microparticulate feed such as that produced for prawn larvae and particularised freeze-dried krill.
  • the inventors have shown that using krill particles greatly reduces the occurrence of moult death syndrome in the larvae thereby improving production rates.
  • the benefits of krill may depend on the strain of Artemia used.
  • the inventors have also shown that strains of Artemia derived from geographical regions in Asia and in particular from China and Vietnam, may be nutritionally sufficient to support normal growth and survival of crab larvae without the addition of krill or other additives. These strains of Artemia are currently more expensive than the most widely used Artemia available commercially which are predominantly from the Great Lakes in the USA.
  • Figure 2 is a schedule for a suggested feeding regime for crabs whose life cycle involves between 4-6 zoeal stages.
  • Preferably rotifers, L-strain are fed to zoeal , zoea2 and just into the zoea3 stage as a transition.
  • Particulate diet may be commenced approximately half way through the zoeal stage and continued throughout the subsequent stages into the crablet stage with preferably increasing particulate diet size as discussed above.
  • Artemia nauplii may be commenced approximately half way through the second zoeal stage and continued through all subsequent zoeal stages until terminating at the commencement of the megalop stage.
  • Artemia juveniles may then preferably be fed from around the middle of the final zoeal stage through the megalop stage and into the commencement of the crablet stage as a transition while Artemia adults may be fed from towards the end of the megalop stage and subsequently.
  • larval nutrition has been an impediment to the achievement of good megalop production rates using standard feeding regimes.
  • Most prior art regimes nutritionally enrich the live foods with artificial formulations designed for fin fish larvae or with selected micro-algae species. These methods are time consuming to conduct, prone to bacterial contamination and do not necessarily deliver the nutritional profile appropriate to crab larvae.
  • Krill is attractive to the larvae and is not likely to be the source of pathogens due to it being a freeze dried product from high latitude cold water. It is also envisaged that a particulate supplement may be produced to replace krill and prawn larvae feeds.
  • the animals may be moved to a nursery pond which is preferably outdoors.
  • the pond may be lined with high density polyethylene (HDPE) and sited so that it can be completely drained into a collection pit.

  • the pond may be filled with seawater and fertilised with urea and superphosphate to promote phyto-plankton and zoo-plankton bloom.
  • the proliferation of live food organisms constitute an important initial part of the crablet diet, promoting high growth rate and survival rate.
  • Pre-soaked straw is scattered throughout the pond forming complex 3D structures to act as a settlement substrate for colonisation and shelter by the megalopae and crablets.
  • the use of straw has distinct advantages as it does not compromise pond management, is desirable for utilisation by crabs, is not expensive, is readily available and is not excessively labour demanding.
  • the straw requires soaking so that it will sink. Usually soaking occurs over approximately 10 days in a tank of seawater, preferably with some water exchange to prevent build up of tannins which can lead to unhygienic conditions.
  • One of the advantages of using an organic substrate like straw as opposed to an inert one like plastic is that it promotes the development of benthic organism assemblages that form part of the diet for the small crablet stages.
  • Using straw to provide refuge substrate for juvenile crustaceans as well as to promote development of feed organisms in marine/brackish water systems is a novel feature of the invention.
  • water quality of the larval culture tanks maybe modified slowly to be similar to that of the nursery pond water, by gradual infusion of new water from the pond to the larval culture tank.

Following this period, feeds in the size range of 1.5 to 2.5mm diameter may be fed at an appropriate rate. The rate may be accurately determined by pond bottom sampling to detect the presence of excess feed and presence of nitrogen thereby allowing appropriate modification of feeding amounts.
  • Pond management may follow standard procedures developed for pond aquaculture of prawns, using application of fertiliser, water exchange and aeration to maintain a phytoplankton bloom and desirable water quality conditions. These methods are well known to a person skilled in the art.
