Summary:Water recycle or close system was used in Peneaus monodon culture at shrimp farms in Mae-Khlong, Samut Songkram. The farm area was divided into 2 major sections: the grow-out and water treatment sections. The latter consisted of mussel pond (for biological filtration), aerated pond, sedimentation ponds, seabass pond and a reservoir. Water from the reservoir was pumped into the grow-out ponds and recycled to the treatment section alternately for 4 months. Amounts of total ammonia nitrogen, phosphorus, total suspended solid, chemical oxygen demand, nitrite and nitrate were monitored throughout the culture period. Results showed that these parameters decreased about 15-70 percent in the treatment section. Growth, survival and feed conversion ratio of shrimp were 30.1 g, 81.1 percent and 1.54, respectively. Mussels and seabass also grew very well in this system.
