It’s easy enough to trace the decline of young white men in American letters—just browse The New York Times’s “Notable Fiction” list In 2012 the Times included seven white American men under the age of 43 (the cut-off for a millennial today); in 2013 there were six there was not one white male millennial on the “Notable Fiction” list and just one apiece in 2023 and 2024 (since 2021 just 2 of 72 millennials featured were white American men) There were no white male millennials featured in Vulture’s 2024 year-end fiction list a magazine ostensibly geared towards male millennials has featured 53 millennial fiction writers on its year-end book lists since 2020 the literary pipeline for white men was effectively shut down six white men won the New York Public Library’s Young Lions prize for debut fiction not a single white man has even been nominated (of 25 total nominations) The past decade has seen 70 finalists for the Center for Fiction’s First Novel Prize—with again not a single straight white American millennial man Of 14 millennial finalists for the National Book Award during that same time period The Wallace Stegner Fellowship at Stanford currently has zero white male fiction and poetry fellows (of 25 fiction fellows since 2020 not a single white American man born after 1984 has published a work of literary fiction in The New Yorker (at least 24 younger millennials have been published in total).  “The kind of novel we think about as the literary novel I think it’s harder for white men,” a leading fiction agent told me “In part because I don’t know the editors who are open to hearing a story of the sort of middle-to-upper-middle-class white male experience The young agents and editors didn’t come up in that culture.” The agent proceeded to list white male writers who have carved out a niche for themselves—Nathan Hill The more thoughtful pieces on this subject tend to frame the issue as a crisis of literary masculinity But while there are no male Sally Rooneys or Ottessa Moshfeghs or Emma Clines—there are no white Tommy Oranges or Tao Lins or Tony Tulathimuttes.  Some of this is undoubtedly part of a dynamic that’s played out across countless industries like Hollywood writers’ rooms and academic tenure committees had a glut of established white men on their rosters and the path of least resistance wasn’t to send George Saunders or Jonathan Franzen out to pasture Diversity preferences may explain their absence from prize lists but they can’t account for why they’ve so completely failed to capture the zeitgeist All those attacks on the “litbro,” the mockery of male literary ambition—exemplified by the sudden cultural banishment of David Foster Wallace—have had a powerfully chilling effect Unwilling to portray themselves as victims (cringe unable to assume the authentic voices of others (appropriation) younger white men are no longer capable of describing the world around them they write suffocatingly tight auto-fiction they write fantastic and utterly terrible period pieces—anything to avoid grappling directly with the complicated nature of their own experience in contemporary America that you are a young-ish white male novelist attempting to write your Big Splashy Everything Novel You want to understand your alienation from yourself after all—so you take your toddler son to the bookstore He’s been asking for a book about whales or fire trucks or trains but prominent placement is given to a different kind of book You see a large display for “Queens of the Jungle,” (“Meet the FEMALE ANIMALS who RULE the ANIMAL KINGDOM”) right next to a YA adaptation of Isabel Wilkerson’s Caste and a Ruth Bader Ginsburg board book for babies If you’re a normal white male millennial you probably roll your eyes; if you’re a maniac like me you text photos of the display to your groupchats; and if you’re a hero or a Democratic congressman we really should buy the book about girlboss animals But for the last decade or so the question for our novelist has been trickier How do you describe a flickering moment of alienation without making your novel an exhaustive On the other hand—how do you not describe it If your own internal monologue can’t be adapted to the page like Adam Ehrlich Sachs (Gretel and the Great War) retreat to the safety of history; others employ genre (self-described “social science fiction”) to maintain a deep authorial remove from the real world Still others seek a milieu so distant the cultural transformations on the homefront don’t register a deep dive into American influence and imperialism in Colombia could have been written at any point in the past 60 years Another solution is to set the aperture narrow enough the outside world barely intrudes Jordan Castro (The Novelist) and Andrew Martin (Early Work) focus so intensely on the auto-fictional writing process on their own literary ambitions and intimate personal dramas that any larger social questions appear moot The tech fable (Colin Winnette’s Users; Greg Jackson’s The Dimensions of a Cave) is a related form of this solipsism—everything is subsumed into the horrors of tech.  Then there’s the millennial twist on socialist realism—except the goal isn’t to showcase an ideal society In his 2024 story collection The History of Sound Ben Shattuck curates a playlist of signifiers—proud historical homosexuals even a Radiolab episode—to reassure the reader that he is the right sort of white man is about two young men who travel across New England collecting old songs (in other words: Alan Lomax… but gay.) humorless (“The memories of fireflies and swimming naked in the waterfall did nothing but make very fine and long incisions in the membrane of contentedness I’d built up over the years”) But Shattuck’s stories aren’t the product here—he is oozing sympathy from his own beautiful membrane of contentedness conveying the proper amount of shame at his working-class Kentucky background (“They supported Trump chiefly because of his promise to bring back American manufacturing Any hope I may have had for them to renounce their support was ..

October 2024 — By Geoffrey Sawyer The collection service has been run using electric collection bikes WESTMINSTER City Council and contractors Veolia have won a top award for a service to collect food waste The partnership tackled the complex problem faced by residents in 90 percent of properties that there was not enough room for them all to have a dedicated food waste bin A new on-demand doorstep collection service was set up by Veolia while a ‘neighbourhood’ provision of communal street bins was set up this work was recognised by the Association for Public Service Excellence at its annual awards which named the council and Veolia as having the Best Public/Private Partnership Working Initiative at the annual Association for Public Service Excellence awards Westminster is seen as a unique example because of its ‘ultra-urban environment’ in the heart of the city where the vast majority of people live in flats and have limited space Many properties in the borough are unsuitable for standard services Veolia has also engaged in an “extensive behaviour change programme” to show residents that food waste doe not need to go in the normal refuse the food waste recycling service has been successfully introduced to approximately 88 per cent of all residential households – over 113,000 households Almost 3,700 tonnes of food waste collected and Westminster’s recycling rate increased by an e 3.7 percentage points this year despite the country’s average declining Cabinet Member for City Management and Air Quality said:”This is fantastic news and reward for the hard work we provide for our residents every day Lots of households in Westminster have limited space to recycle food waste so we had to think creatively about providing an efficient and user-friendly service that matched our Fairer Environment and Fairer Communities commitment He added: “We are under no illusion that our target to make the city net zero by 2040 is an ambitious one and decarbonising waste collection vehicles is a step toward achieving our net zero goal General Manager for Veolia said: “At the heart of every successful partnership is a common goal and for Veolia and Westminster it is a passion for delivering services to meet the needs of residents in a very complex and challenging urban area This has led us to think beyond traditional service models and collaborate to deliver our latest innovations in the neighbourhood and on-demand services “We are so proud to deliver on our wider Net Zero and Ecological transformation ambitions through this project and this award win is a well-deserved recognition of the ongoing dedication and commitment of the recycling and waste collection heroes that work hard to deliver service excellence every day.” Sironi initially began his time

DionPublished: November 12, 2024 at 5:39PM EST (Bloomberg) -- The chief executive officer of Canadian flight simulator company CAE Inc. will step down after 15 years amid weak profitability in its defense and security business.  Marc Parent will leave next August and the board has hired a search firm to evaluate candidates, the Montreal-based company said in a statement Tuesday. The announcement comes after a period in which CAE’s defense segment delivered disappointing results and its share price underperformed.  CAE reports two main business lines: civil aviation, which trains pilots for commercial aircraft, and defense and security, which includes contracts to train pilots for countries’ air forces. In May, CAE announced a C$568 million ($407 million) goodwill impairment on the latter division, plus C$126 million in contract adjustments and impairment on assets related to the contracts. At the same time, CAE moved Nick Leontidis to chief operating officer with a mandate to seek synergies between the two divisions. Two months later, the company announced that Chief Financial Officer Sonya Branco was stepping down.  CAE’s share price is down more than 5% this year and is about 35% below where it was just before the Covid pandemic hit. “There’s a valuation dislocation where you pay zero today for defense,” Jarislowsky Fraser Ltd. portfolio manager Charles Nadim said at a National Bank of Canada conference on Oct. 16. “There are changes needed there.”  Jarislowsky is the third-largest shareholder in CAE with a 7% stake, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Nadim briefly mentioned his views on CAE while discussing opportunities in the Canadian stock market on a panel. Parent said in an interview in October that the company still has a strong competitive position in defense. “When you think about defense, all 43,000 pilots in the US military are at some point in their career trained by CAE,” he said. “So that gives you a sense of the scale that we have.” CAE reported revenue of C$1.14 billion for the fiscal second quarter ended Sept. 30. Civil aviation produced adjusted operating income of C$116 million, compared with C$33 million for the defense segment.  The company earned 24 Canadian cents a share on an adjusted basis, beating analysts’ expectations for 19 cents, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.  Twitter feed ©2025 BellMedia All Rights Reserved Bongzilla, the Wisconsin-based weed metal trio, is set to tour Europe in the Spring to promote their 2023 LP, "Dab City," released once again through Heavy Psych Sounds.

Some of them have been released on bail and others are in detention. Several of them, including four Chinese journalists were formally arrested and charged with crimes including “picking quarrels and creating troubles” and “gathering a crowd to disrupt public order.” After the protests, conspiracy theories spread on social media that foreign forces fuelled the protests As Beijing switched tactics and ended the zero-COVID policy the public security authorities secretly launched a nationwide crackdown on the protests The crackdown began in early December and only caught public attention in mid-January 2023 released a pre-recorded video urging the world not to let the white paper protesters disappear in silence: Cao explained that she and her five friends were detained for 24 hours by Beijing police on November 30 for commemorating the Urumqi Fire in Beijing Liangma River on November 27 she recorded the video and asked her friend to help release it when she became unreachable Cao was taken by Beijing police on December 24 including Zhai Dengrui (翟登蕊) and Cao Zhixin are either feminists or are connected to the Chinese feminist social circle: In this profile of a group of women friends in Beijing who have been rounded up by authorities and become accidental symbols of dissent in China, we unpacked a fundamental shift in China's civil society.

from the center of the grand prix arena over the course of her two-day clinic a multi-talented athlete who has represented her country in both eventing and dressage coached seven groups of dressage riders on horses ranging from a 5-year-old stallion to those practicing the piaffe and then she switched gears to guide three advanced eventers through cavaletti exercises That’s the Ingrid Klimke way of training: Regardless of the rider or horse she’s working with no matter what level or which discipline they rode she met each with the same whole-bodied delight  Klimke was a teacher in constant motion she bounded around the ring on foot to demonstrate a change of direction in half-pass She had several riders drop their stirrups of these changes were in the name of getting a more “positive” movement out of the combination.  “Ride positively forward!” she would call out there was a noticeable shift in the way of going for horse and rider: shoulders relaxed Riding positively is at the core of Klimke’s philosophy and “Training Horses the Ingrid Klimke Way: An Olympic Medalist’s Winning Methods for a Joyful Riding Partnership,” the key to her long and storied career in multiple disciplines means bringing out the best in every ride and having a joyful relationship with your equine partner.  700-plus attendees got to witness how positive energy translates to movement and learned how to ride positively in practice.  In a session focused on warming up horses with riders Joey Emmert Evans on her mare Khaleesi and Ellie Hardesty on the U.S.-bred Hanoverian Barrington Klimke emphasized the importance of taking 10-15 minutes at the walk to get your horse to open its body and stretch before asking for any collection “My aim is the nose on the ground in warm-up,” Klimke said “The goal should be the horse chewing the bit out of your hands.”  she had both riders take their horses over a set of four cavaletti on the lowest setting letting the horses first look and take their time stepping through the poles When Emmert Evans’ horse was a bit skeptical of the series of poles then added more as the mare got more comfortable with the question.  Once both horses were swinging naturally on a more open walk step the cavaletti were widened to 1.5 meters for a trot exercise Klimke was looking for balance and stretch.  she had the pairs do serpentines while continuing to stretch She encouraged the riders to ride light and forward for the first few minutes of canter work.  “As riders we should give our horses courage and confidence The warm-up is the most important part of the ride; it will set the [positive] tone.” so they can open up without weight on their back,” said Klimke.  Klimke had the riders ask for soft downward transitions keeping their horses as straight and relaxed as possible.  “As riders we should give our horses courage and confidence,” Klimke said “The warm-up is the most important part of the ride; it will set the [positive] tone.” As the co-author of “Cavalletti For Dressage And Jumping,” which she wrote with her father it is perhaps no surprise that Ingrid incorporated the gymnastics in every group and level she taught she used cavaletti exercises to demonstrate how to increase strength and suppleness without compromising the horses’ natural gaits.  when working with Joseph Newcomb on Free Solo EDI a 3-year-old Oldenburg stallion, Ingrid set up an uneven distance over the cavaletti at the walk and trot by removing one of the poles from the middle of the set of four The exercise helps young horses maintain their balance over uneven ground and builds their confidence in carrying themselves It’s an exercise she starts all young horses over no matter the discipline they are destined for At first both horses both tripped over the cavaletti (“These two really are dressage horses,” Ingrid said with an unfazed chuckle.)  She encouraged the riders to be confident as well She had the riders maintain soft contact by holding their hands together at the withers keeping the rhythm with seat and legs and giving through their elbows.  but be patient with the ones that take a little longer you will be rewarded,” she said of training young horses when she was working with Tokyo team silver medalist Sabine Schut-Kery and clinic organizer Kelly Artz on third-level movements their first exercise was a rising trot over four cavaletti set 1.5 meters apart both horses tried to jump through the poles “Are you sure these horses aren’t eventers?” she joked.  The more the riders moved in harmony with their horses by following with their hands the more the horses relaxed over the poles and she had Schut-Kery concentrate on getting her horse to lift his poll using the half halt.  she arranged the cavaletti on a circle and asked Schut-Kery and Artz to collect their horses into a working trot she had the horses trot around the cavaletti to familiarize them with the shape letting each horse make mistakes until they trotted through the curve of poles with consistent rhythm and positivity: energy that flowed from the hind end forward She emphasized straightness and forward motion at every opportunity which she explained was to help establish suppleness through the ribcage and lateral bend in preparation for more advanced work.  Finding and harnessing positivity was the core of the lesson when Ingrid worked with Caroline Hoffman and Bugei VDOS The two horses started at opposite ends of the forward-thinking spectrum and Ingrid relished the challenge of bringing both partnerships to a more harmonious place.  Ingrid had each pair do a walk-trot exercise on a circle in which they trotted She was looking for them to keep the energy moving forward and the hind end engaged.  Hinnemann’s seasoned schoolmaster tended to be on the lazier side Ingrid lovingly referred to him as “the good professor,” and worked with Hinnemann to get him to move more positively from the halt into every gait.  Ingrid coached the teen rider to “keep that positive energy.” On the other hand, Hoffman’s much hotter horse responded over-eagerly in the exercise cantering from a halt when asked for a trot soften the halt and generally worked on relaxation so that the pair wasn’t overdelivering to their detriment.  In another instance, Klimke noticed that McKenzie Milburn’s Oldenburg gelding with whom she is currently competing in the Intermediaire 2 and U25 Grand Prix was giving her more of a passage than a working trot.  She worked with Milburn to achieve a more fluid rhythm.  “Half-halt and give,” she repeated.  “More positive forward Make it a really smooth movement before we can do the half-pass “I often drop my stirrups if there is a problem because I want to be closer to my horse,” the double Olympic gold medalist said right before she asked Joseph Newcomb to ride without his “I want to be able to feel what I’m doing so that I can change it.” I want to be able to feel what I’m doing so that I can change it.” Newcomb’s young horse kept cantering when asked for the trot so Ingrid wanted Newcomb to adjust his leg position and encourage him to ride more from his seat She also had him approach a cavaletti exercise at a trot and transition to a walk a few strides before the poles to encourage the horse to give a different answer.  you must change the question,” she said.   When USDF gold medalist Amelia Newcomb and her horse Ingrid had her drop her irons so that she sat deeper in the saddle during the changes and relied less on leverage from her stirrups when the upper-level pair practiced the passage and the piaffe Ingrid called for her to release the horse’s nose and ride with more free-flowing energy which looks like the horse is marching in place Ingrid maintained that the movement should be positive and forward “The horse should be jumping out of each step,” she said.  In one of the most anticipated sessions of the clinic upper-level eventers Chloe Smyth on the Holsteiner Top Quirada Grace Walker on Oldenburg Frantz EDI and Taren Hoffos on the Oldenburg mare Regalla had their chance to work with the much-decorated German eventer Her excitement let the audience know Ingrid had been looking forward to this as much as the riders were.  “People ask me when I’m going to give up eventing for pure dressage The eventers were in jumping saddles and started by cantering over cavaletti on a circle with the goal of keeping a consistent rhythm over the rails.  “Maintain a dressage canter over the poles,” Ingrid said When Walker’s horse got a bit big and off balance Ingrid asked for more bend to keep him supple The next exercise was to establish adjustability without losing positive forward motion The pairs cantered a straight line between two cavaletti Smyth’s mare got five strides on her first go Ingrid coached her to influence the lead that the mare landed on by putting weight in her outside leg they executed a rhythmic six and landed on the correct lead Walker’s horse did their first line in an exuberant five—“He was trying for four,” Ingrid noted—but Walker brought him easily back to six and then seven and even managed to squeeze in eight strides Ingrid encouraged her to open and go for the four which they accomplished to a round of applause.  To work on flying lead changes and overall agility Ingrid set up three- and four-loop serpentines with cavaletti placed on the centerline She wanted each pair to execute a clean lead change over the cavaletti.  She wanted Hoffos to sit back and not get too light “Use your weight aids and stay in a dressage position.” When she was asking for changes Klimke wanted to see a really round serpentine she had the riders take the straightest distance Walker’s horse needed a bit of encouragement to make the changes so Ingrid asked her to give the aids the stride before the obstacle A final exercise asked the riders to practice rollbacks at the canter over four cavaletti situated like a giant cross Ingrid started by having each team ride a figure-eight over two of the four elements in the form of two 10-meter circles she asked for smaller and smaller circles until the riders were almost making a quarter pirouette Everyone was asked to sit deeper and give more quickly to keep their horses balanced and turning on the hind end.  you make tighter turns,” Klimke noted.  When asked after the clinic why she thought that so many riders had to be reminded to give to their horses to create and sustain positive energy “It’s something that we all have to be reminded of you

Returnal has gotten a surprise PS5 Pro patch View Results Shrimp farming in Brazil has gone through a series of technological advances driven mainly by the search for greater shrimp farm productivity pioneer farms adopted a semi-extensive regime characterized by low stocking density (1 to 3 shrimp per square meter) and organic fertilization for development of benthic food resulting in yields between 50 and 200 kg/ha/crop with the availability of Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) postlarvae and industrially compounded feeds These were characterized by greater feed management control through the use of feeding trays and densities of up to 30 shrimp per square meter resulting in yields close to 1,500 kg/ha/crop farmers implemented more intensive practices electrical power was brought to farms to allow the use of mechanical aeration and earthen ponds with areas of up to 5 ha began to be used densities could exceed 50 shrimp per square meter Super-intensive farming technologies are currently being implemented in some farms in the Northeast part of Brazil these systems operate to strike a balance between high shrimp productivity reduced water exchange and greater biosecurity Ponds use square or rectangular areas between 2,500 and 4,000 square meters with bottoms lined with high density polyethylene (HDPE) geomembranes and equipped with central drains covered in semi-transparent or opaque film Shrimp are fed several times a day by manual broadcasting or using feeding trays a high mechanical aeration rate (20 to 30 hp/ha) is used initial stocking densities range from 120 and 300 shrimp per square meter and yields can reach up to 25,000 kg/ha/crop Recent studies on superintensive systems have converged to a hybrid system that combines water recirculation (recirculating aquaculture system the presence of microbial flocs and zero water discharge The basic principle of RAS is the treatment of discharge water through a series of processes which may include physical and mechanical filtration and disinfection and oxygenation before returning the treated water to the culture system This article presents the results of three superintensive trials with L vannamei juveniles carried out at the LABOMAR research facilities operated with minimum water exchange or in a hybrid system with full water reuse the study determined shrimp performance regarding final survival feed conversion ratio and yield in response to water exchange regime Editor’s note: This article summarizes the following recent undergraduate research at the Universidade Federal do Ceará Avaliação de ração comercial para o cultivo super-intensivo de juvenis do camarão branco do Pacífico Cultivo do camarão Litopenaeus vannamei em sistema híbrido super-intensivo The sample design used in this study consisted of 25 cylindrical tanks with a usable volume of 6.37 to 7.96 cubic meters (area of ​​5.31 square meters x 1.20 to 1.50 meters deep) and made galvanized steel structure and PVC tarpaulin semi-covered with shading screen and milky/opaque film individually equipped with a separate water inlet and outlet automatic feeder and feeding tray for indirect estimate of feed intake (Fig The culture tanks have two water connection lines one for the reused water supply and one for wastewater drainage connected to two buried 5- and 10-cubic-meter reservoirs These reservoirs reduce and oxidize the organic matter present in the discharge water through denitrification The treated water goes to two other 20-cubic-meter reservoirs and is then pumped into the cultivation tanks shrimp stocking densities and feeding methods (Table 1) The preparation of the tanks for the trials began by washing/blasting the tank walls with water and chlorine the tanks were exposed to sunlight and then rinsed with saltwater to remove debris the tanks were filled with estuarine water the water was disinfected with 5 ppm calcium hypochlorite tank water was fertilized to promote the growth and dominance of heterotrophic and nitrifying bacteria Water was fertilized by applying to each tank 8.8 grams per cubic meter of ground shrimp feed containing a minimum of 35 percent crude protein along with 10 grams per cubic meter of sugarcane molasses molasses was used in combination with a fermented preparation consisting of rice residues and live yeast (symbiotic) This procedure was repeated three times a week during the first month of shrimp culture The fermented material was replaced by sugarcane molasses from the second month of cultivation to maintain the desired brownish color of the culture water characteristic of the dominance of nitrifying bacteria in the system (Fig Shrimp were stocked at an initial body weight between 1.3 and 1.7 grams and at densities of 186 282 and 659 animals per square meter in trials 1 shrimp were fed commercial feeds made in Brazil exclusively in feeding trays with an area of ​​707 square cm (30 cm diameter x 5.4 cm height) commercial feeds were delivered mechanically and manually feeds were delivered using mechanical feeders and by hand broadcasting at one-hour intervals feed was distributed mechanically using an automated feeding device programmed to deliver feeds every hour Day and night rations represented 60 and 40 percent of the total daily meal A feeding tray was positioned below each feeder to monitor nighttime feed consumption the amount of leftovers was visually assessed and the trays were later washed and replaced in the tanks assuming a 0.5 percent weekly decrease in shrimp survival in all culture tanks a total of 20 shrimp per tank was weighed on a precision scale to determine the mean population weight the increase in rations was done daily on the basis of the average daily shrimp growth observed in the previous week with a weekly survival decrease of 0.5 percent temperature and dissolved oxygen were determined once daily at 9 a.m Settleable solids (SS) were measured three times a week using 1,000 mL Imhoff cones (Fig Alkalinity was determined for correction with sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) An application of 20 grams per cubic meter NaHCO3 was performed for each 10 mg/L increase in water alkalinity the shrimp achieved a high final survival above 90 percent (Table 2) There was no significant effect of the type of feed used on shrimp survival (P> 0.05) Although there was an increase in initial shrimp density of 52 percent between trials 1 and 2 (from 186 to 282 shrimp per square meter the increase in density had no influence on shrimp final survival The average survival reached very close values This suggests that the carrying capacity of the tanks was not exceeded there was a reduction to 82.0 ± 7.0 percent in final survival there was no influence of the type of feed used on shrimp survival (P> 0.05) Final shrimp yield increased linearly as a function of initial shrimp density productivity reached 2227 ± 177 grams per square meter At the stocking density of 282 shrimp per square meter the final yield ranged from 2982 ± 266 to 3573 ± 93 grams per square meter with feed having a statistically significant effect on this parameter the average yield was 6526 ± 438 grams per square meter but average values ​​of 6892 ± 314 grams per square meter resulted for one of the feeds used the weekly growth of shrimp ranged from 0.89 ± 0.03 to 1.13 ± 0.19 grams Shrimp growth was significantly affected by the type of feed used Although it can be speculated that the reduction in weekly growth in crops 1 and 2 was due to the increase in initial shrimp density under 659 shrimp per square meter the growth increased to an average of 1.17 ± 0.14 grams Most likely the different growth rates observed were a result of the operational characteristics of each crop in particular feed management and the type of feed used It was not possible to observe large changes in the water quality parameters of the different trials that could justify the differences in shrimp growth The observed averages (± standard deviation) for temperature salinity and pH in crops 1 and 2 were 29.1 ± 0.6 degrees-C (n = 1725) and 30.6 ± 1.0 degrees-C (n = 1699) 3 grams/L (n = 1725) and 41 ± 1.8 grams/L (n = 1699) 7.65 ± 0.65 (n = 1725) and 7.45 ± 0.34 (n = 1700) dissolved oxygen (DO) and settleable solids (SS) reached an average of 4.71 ± 0.62 mg/L (n = 1700) and 2.7 ± 1.8 mL/L (n = 1725) dissolved oxygen and SS reached an average of 29.6 ± 1.3 degrees-C (n = 1125) 3.75 ± 0.62 mg/L (n = 325) and 1.4 ± 1.3 mL/L (n = 450) there were progressive drops in water pH and alkalinity throughout the experiment controlled by the application of sodium bicarbonate to keep the pH close to neutrality with alkalinity levels above 100 mg/L CaCO3 The final body weight of shrimp was significantly influenced by the type of feed used in all densities used The difference in trial 1 (12.08 ± 0.22 – 14.76 ± 2.20 grams) between the minimum and maximum averages observed was 2.68 grams the difference (11.77 ± 1.11 – 13.95 ± 0.50 grams) reached 2.18 grams and 1.53 grams in trial 3 (11.45 ± 1.27 – 12.98 ± 0.86) These results show differences in the nutritional content and biological value of the feeds for shrimp raised under high stocking densities This is clear from an analysis of the progression of shrimp body weight gain shrimp stocked at 186 animals/m2 reached an average of 4.48 grams Although the initial body weight of shrimp in crop 1 was 14 percent higher (1.74 ± 0.64 grams) than in crop 2 (1.53 ± 0.33 grams) the differences after almost one month of culture increased to 45 percent the shrimp reached an average of 5.13 ± 0.13 grams by the 29th day of cultivation A correlation between culture days and all body weights of shrimp collected throughout the trials indicates that under 659 shrimp per square meter the estimated progression in weight gain is maintained above the other densities (Fig The apparent food intake by the shrimp varied between trials 1 and 2 given the differences observed in shrimp body weight throughout the culture period in trial 3 there was a significant decrease in the apparent feed intake This was due to the greater monitoring of feed intake a greater restriction imposed on the feeding table and also due to the higher feeding frequency adopted These procedures permitted reducing the FCR from 1.85 in trials 1 and 2 to 1.63 in trial 3 Through the results of this study it was possible to verify that L growth and feeding efficiency when cultured at high density using minimal water exchange or full water reuse through recirculation The increase in initial stocking density from 186 to 282 shrimp per square meter did not have a deleterious effect on the zootechnical performance of the animals Under these densities and under experimental conditions vannamei achieves a survival greater than 90 percent weekly growth between 0.8 and 1.1 g and productivity between 2.2 and 3.0 kg per square meter The shrimp were also able to withstand even higher stocking densities at 659 shrimp per square meter without compromising their survival and growth growth and final yield equivalent to 82 percent 1.32 grams/week and 6.5 kg per square meter shrimp were cultured in a hybrid system that operated with continuous water recirculation to allow sedimentation and removal of suspended solids This permitted a stability in the concentration of nitrogenous compounds and it was not necessary to maintain the system in a heterotrophic regime or with biofloc dominance … please consider
