ABSTRACT
Juvenile
blue swimming crab, Portunus pelagicus were reared over
31 days in two different systems namely recirculating aquaculture system (RAS)
and conventional aquaculture system (CAS) to evaluate the water
quality parameters, growth, and its body composition. The juvenile crab,
weighing of 0.95 ± 0.18 g and stocking was at 40 crabs m-2 and
fed twice per day with a commercial shrimp pellet. During the experimental
time, significantly (P <0.05) increment in dissolved oxygen (DO)
(6.42 ± 0.13), low level of ammonia- nitrogen (0.04 ± 0.10) and nitrite-nitrogen
(0.02 ± 0.07) were recorded in RAS than conventional
aquaculture system (CAS) (DO:
5.99 ± 0.24; ammonia- nitrogen: 3.83 ± 1.59; nitrite-nitrogen: 0.71 ± 0.58).
The carapace width, weight gain and specific growth rate (SGR)
were significantly (P <0.05) higher in RAS. Protein content (22.65 ± 0.11 %)
in crab also were significantly (P <0.05) higher in RAS compared
with crab protein (21.41 ± 0.12 %) cultured in CAS.
Although the survival rate was slightly higher in the juveniles reared at CAS,
however it was not significantly different comparing with the individuals
reared at RAS. The results strongly suggested that the use of RAS may
improve the growth performance and maintain the better water quality for the
crabs in captivity.

ABSTRAK
Ketam juvenil renang biru, Portunus pelagicus telah dipelihara selama 31 hari
dalam dua sistem berbeza iaitu sistem akuakultur udara berulang
(RAS)
dan sistem akuakultur konvensional (CAS) untuk menilai parameter kualiti
air, tumbesaran dan komposisi badan. Ketam juvenil seberat 0.95
± 0.18 g dan penstokan adalah pada 40 ketam m-2 dan diberi makan dua kali sehari
dengan pelet udang komersial. Semasa masa uji kaji percubaan, peningkatan
(P < 0.05) dengan ketara oksigen terlarut (DO)
(6.42 ± 0.13), tahap rendah ammonia- nitrogen (0.04 ±
0.10) dan nitrit-nitrogen (0.02 ± 0.07) direkodkan dalam
RAS daripada konvensional sistem
akuakultur (CAS) (DO:
5.99 ± 0.24; ammonia-nitrogen: 3.83 ± 1.59; nitrit-nitrogen:
0.71 ± 0.58). Lebar karapas, pertambahan berat dan kadar
pertumbuhan khusus (SGR)
adalah ketara (P < 0.05) lebih tinggi dalam RAS.
Kandungan protein (22.65 ± 0.11%) pada ketam juga adalah
ketara (P < 0.05) lebih tinggi pada RAS berbanding dengan protein ketam (21.41
± 0.12%) yang dikultur dalam CAS. Walaupun kadar kemandirian
adalah lebih tinggi dalam juvenil yang dipelihara dalam CAS,
walau bagaimanapun, ia tidak berbeza dengan ketara berbanding dengan
individu yang dipelihara dalam RAS. Keputusan menyarankan bahawa penggunaan
RAS boleh meningkatkan prestasi tumbesaran dan mengekalkan
kualiti air yang lebih baik untuk ketam dalam kurungan.
