First trial (New Caledonia): Comparison traditionnal earthen ponds methods vs biofloc technology Second trial (Tahiti) : Comparison clear water vs biofloc Parameters monitored : • •
Measured parameters on broodstock Health statuts : antioxidant defenses Reproductive performances parameters : spawn number, egg number Eggs and larval quality : antioxidant defenses, larval survival rate

Several steps: Grow-out the shrimps to reproduction size Transfer in hatchery : - Separation of female/male according the differents treatments - All animals with same conditions (nutrition. temperature. salinity…) Eyestalk ablation Reproduction - Maturation - Artificial insemination - Spawning - Eggs and nauplii - Zoe 2 and Post larvae 1 (just for the 2nd experimentation) 5

Biofloc vs Earthen pond
lfremer
Rearing duration: 4 months Biofloc (BFT): 4 tanks of 4m² C/N=12/1 Density : 20 shrimps/m² Daily 3% of water renewal
Extensive earthen ponds (EEP): 4 ponds Density : 0.5 shrimps/m2 Daily up to 30% of water renewal

Reproductive performances
lfremer
Total spawning number. eggs and nauplii produced based on one hundred females per treatment (EEP vs BFT) EEP
BFT
Total spawning number 84 ± 25.4 122 ± 16.2 Total eggs number 12.73 107 ± 3.85 107 21.11 107± 2.82 107 Total nauplii number 7.79 107 ± 2.35 107 14.79 107± 1.98 107
Results : Better antioxydant status of broodstock in BFT Higher reproductive performance & larvae quality Hypothesis: Bioactive molecules which could modulate the reproduction of the female broodstock Bioactive molecules maybe transfer into eggs (as we show for glutathion) which lead to a better health of larvae
