Abstract:In order to develop and set up ecological multistory culture pond ecosystem of obscure puffer (Takifugu obscurus), Litopeneaus vannamei, and Ipomoea aquatica Forsk, the differences of the water quality changes and the cultural efficiencies between multistory culture model and traditional monoculture model of obscure puffer were studied. The results showed that the values of water quality parameters of pH, TAN, NO2-N, and NO3-N in the pond of multistory culture model and traditional monoculture model of obscure puffer maintained within the ideal range. In these parameters, except that the NO3-N(0.110 mg/L)of the multistory culture model on July 8 was significantly lower than the NO3-N(0.630 mg/L)of the traditional monoculture model, there was no significant difference in other parameters between the two models. The Chl a of the multistory culture model was significantly lower than that of the traditional monoculture model. The scopes of the average total nitrogen (TN) in two models were 1.38-3.96 mg/L and 1.04-3.20 mg/L, respectively, in the middle and later periods of the culture (from July 24 to October 11), the TN of the multistory culture model was significantly higher than that of the traditional monoculture model. During the cultural time, the total phosphorus (TP) of the multistory culture model showed a trend of slow rising steadily (0.26-0.42 mg/L), while the total phosphorus (TP) of the traditional monoculture model showed a trend of high middle (0.50-0.56 mg/L) and low on both sides (0.18-0.37 mg/L). Except that the COD value of two models on May 6 is relatively high (the multistory culture model 14.05 mg/L and the traditional monoculture model 15.03 mg/L, respectively), in the other monitoring points in time, COD values are relatively stable, the mean ranges were 6.79-10.24 mg/L and 6.83-9.15 mg/L, respectively, and there was no significant difference between the two models. Overall, the TSS (total suspended solid) value was higher, especially source water on June 13(154.20 mg/L), the traditional monoculture model on 24 July and August 19(186.60 mg/L and 181.53 mg/L, respectively), and the multistory culture model on September 15(189.87 mg/L), these TSS values were more than 150 mg/L. In each monitoring point in time, there was no significant difference in the TSS between the two models. Obscure puffer culture was advantageous to the purification of pH, TAN, NO2-N, and NO3-N in pond water of the two models, and there was no obvious influence on the TP and TSS in pond water, while, it caused the increase of total nitrogen (TN) and COD in pond water. There was no significant difference in growth of obscure puffer between the multistory culture model and the traditional monoculture model, the stocking density (12 000-15 000 ind/hm2) of the two models did not cause space stress of obscure puffer growth. Except that the obscure puffer unit yield (3 426.0 kg/hm2) of the multistory culture model was significantly lower than that of the traditional monoculture model (4 055.7 kg/hm2), there was no significant difference in out-pond specification (293.30 g/ind and 297.53 g/ind, respectively), survival rate (97.38% and 94.60%, respectively), and food coefficient (2.83 and 2.91, respectively) between the two models. Litopeneaus vannamei of polyculture in the multistory culture model showed good growth performance:the unit yield of Litopeneaus vannamei was 3 056.6 kg/hm2, the out-pond specification was 22.48 g/ind, the survival rate was 78.17%, and the food coefficient 0.68, and the overall superimposed feed coefficient of fish and shrimp was 1.39. Compared with the obscure puffer traditional single model, under the condition of 11.1% reduction in aquaculture tail water discharge, the benefit of the multistory culture model increased by 87 675 yuan per ha.
