Previous issue date: 2007-12-03 / Coordena??o de Aperfei?oamento de Pessoal de N?vel Superior / The integrated culture of seaweed and aquatic animals is an ancient practice in Asian countries. The expansion of this practice to western countries is consequence of the recognition of this system as a sustainable alternative that allows economical diversification and mitigation of environmental impacts generated by effluents of aquaculture. This study evaluated the growth of the seaweed Gracilaria caudata and of the shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei in monoculture (shrimps) and integrated culture (shrimps and algae) systems, and accessed the effect of the seaweed in the water quality. There were two treatments in the experiment: monoculture (shrimps) and integrated culture (shrimps/ algae). The organisms were cultured in 6 aquaria (10L) filled with seawater (35.0?0.0 PSU and 28.1?0.4?C) for 28 days. The nutrients of water (PO43-, NH4+, NO2-, NO3- and DIN), the biomass and the relative growth rate (RGR, % day-1) of seaweed and shrimps were measured weekly. The parameters pH, temperature, salinity and dissolved oxygen were measured daily. The concentration of NH4+ in integrated culture (62.8?25.2?M) was lower (Mann-Whitney p<0.001) than in monoculture (85.6?24.3?M). The mean of PO4- in monoculture (10.4?4.6?M) was markedly higher (Mann-Whitney; p=0.024) than that in integrated culture (8.7?4.1?M). The level of dissolved oxygen in integrated culture (6.0?0.6mg/L) was higher (t-Student; P=0.014) than that in shrimp monoculture (5.8?0.6mg/L). The mean values of the parameters pH, NO2-, NO3- and DIN were 7.5?0.2, 10.1?12.2?M, 24.5?3.2?M and 120.17?30.76?M in monoculture, and 7.5?0.2, 10.5?13.2?M, 27.4?3.5?M and 100.76?49.59?M in integrated culture. There were not differences in these parameters between treatments. The biomass and RGR of seaweed reached 15.0?1.9g and 7.4?2.8% day-1 at the end of the experiment. The performance of shrimp was favorable in monoculture (1.5?0.8g; 5.7?1.6% dia-1) and in integrated culture (1.5?0.7g; 5.2?1.2% dia-1), and the rate of survival was 100% in both treatments. The tolerance and favorable performance of Gracilaria caudata suggest that this seaweed might be integrated into shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) culture systems / O uso de macroalgas em cultivo integrado com animais ? uma pr?tica antiga em pa?ses asi?ticos. A expans?o desta pr?tica em pa?ses ocidentais ? conseq??ncia do reconhecimento desse sistema como uma alternativa que possibilita a diversifica??o econ?mica e a mitiga??o dos impactos gerados pelos efluentes da aq?icultura. Este estudo avaliou o crescimento da macroalga Gracilaria caudata e do camar?o Litopenaeus vannamei em monocultivo (camar?o) e em cultivo integrado, observando o efeito das algas na qualidade da ?gua. O experimento foi constitu?do por dois tratamentos (triplicata), realizados em aqu?rios de vidro contendo ?gua do mar (35,0?0,0 PSU e 28,1?0,4?C) durante 28 dias: monocultivo (camar?es) e cultivo integrado (camar?es/algas). Os nutrientes da ?gua, a biomassa e as taxas de crescimento relativo (TCR,%dia-1) das duas esp?cies foram determinadas semanalmente. Os par?metros f?sico-qu?micos da ?gua (pH, temperatura, salinidade e oxig?nio dissolvido) foram monitorados diariamente. Os n?veis do ?on am?nio foram significativamente menores (Mann-Whitney p<0,001) no cultivo integrado (62,8?25,2?M) do que no monocultivo (85,6?24,3?M). Este mesmo modelo foi observado para o ortofosfato, cujas m?dias foram 10,4?4,6?M no monocultivo e 8,7?4,1?M no cultivo integrado (Mann-Whitney; p=0,024). O oxig?nio dissolvido no cultivo integrado (6,0?0,6mg/L) foi maior (t-Student; P=0,014) que no monocultivo (5,8?0,6mg/L). Os par?metros pH, nitrito, nitrato e nitrog?nio inorg?nico dissolvido n?o apresentaram diferen?a entre os tratamentos, cujas m?dias foram 7,5?0,2, 10,1?12,2?M, 24,5?3,2?M e 120,17?30,76?M no monocultivo e 7,5?0,2, 10,5?13,2?M, 27,4?3,5?M e 100,76?49,59?M no integrado. A alga apresentou aumento significativo de biomassa (15,0?1,9g) e de TCR (7,4?2,8% dia-1). Os camar?es mostraram bom desempenho no monocultivo (1,5?0,8g; 5,7?1,6% dia-1) e no integrado (1,5?0,7g; 5,2?1,2% dia-1) e 100% de sobreviv?ncia, n?o havendo diferen?a entre ambos (t-student; p>0,05). A toler?ncia e o bom desempenho de Gracilaria caudata em ambientes eutr?ficos sugerem que essa alga pode ser integrada em sistemas de cultivo de camar?es (Litopenaeus vannamei)
