Engorde de pulpo común Octopus vulgaris en jaulas en la comunidad Canaria [Material gráfico] [Recurso electrónico] : efecto de la dieta y la densidad inicial

Octopus vulgaris on-growing in floating cages is a promising activity implemented in Spain at industrial level, with productions of 16-32 tons/year from 1998. Nevertheless, some aspects of the culture system need to be evaluated to warrantee its profitability. In the present work absolute growth rate (AGR, g/day) and mortality (%) under two initial rearing densities, 10 and 17 kg/m3, were compared under two feeding regimes over 15 weeks. One diet was composed by bogue, supplied as ?discarded? species from local fish farms. The other diet was based on a 40-60% discarded bogue-crab Portunus pelagicus. Half of the reared octopuses were PIT-tagged and two sampling points were established along the experimental period. Regardless of dietary treatment, up to the 11th week, growth was 19 and 13 g./day for the low and high rearing density. On the other hand, up to the 11th week mortality was higher in the control diet fed group (30%), reaching 74-84% by the end of the experiment regardless of rearing density and dietary treatment, which could suggest some nutritional imbalance of the tested diets.

Evaluación de 2 sistemas de cultivo en pulpo común Octopus vulgaris en jaulas en la comunidad Canaria

Octopus vulgaris on-growing in floating cages is a promising activity implemented in Spain at industrial level, with productions of 16-32 tons/year from 1998. Nevertheless, some aspects of the culture system need to be evaluated to warrantee its profitability. In the present study two rearing systems and two dietary treatments were evaluated. Individual and group rearing, in PVC net compartments and floating cages respectively, were compared under two dietary treatments. One diet was composed by bogue, supplied as ?discarded? species from local fish farms, and the other was based on a 40-60% discarded bogue-crab Portunus pelagicus. All octopuses were PIT-tagged and the experiment lasted two months. Animals were sampled once throughout the experimental period and absolute growth rate (AGR, g./day) and mortality (%) were calculated. AGR of group rearing was above 30 g./day, however individual rearing showed 100% survival so biomass increment was higher. On the other hand, males grew more than females regardless of dietary treatment.
