ABSTRACT A closed system for intensive culture of penaeid shrimp was designed and tested. Details of construction of tanks and filters are presented along with a description of some equipment and procedures tested during the evolution of the system. The system is evaluated in terms of its usefulness in rearing shrimp at high densities. Water chemistry parameters are presented to aid in evaluation of overall system performance. It was demonstrated that the system has practical applications in rearing postlarval and juvenile penaeid shrimp at high densities.
