The aim of this study was to evaluate egg production and quality of females of the Pacific white shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei, in which there was or was not unilateral eyestalk ablation after there was pre-maturation culturing in biofloc or clear-water systems. Acylglycerides, cholesterol, glucose and total soluble protein were determined for the hepatopancreas, ovaries, hemolymph and eggs. Females cultured using the biofloc system had a larger number of eggs released per spawning and per gram of spawning specimen body weight. The number of total spawning’s per week was comparable among treatments. Females cultured in the biofloc system in which there was no eyestalk ablation had that greatest concentrations of nutrient reserves in the hepatopancreas (P < 0.05) with the females cultured in the biofloc and clear-water system that had eye stalk ablation having the next most abundant nutrient reserves. There were the least concentrations of nutrient reserves in females with eyestalk ablation cultured in the clear-water system (P < 0.05). There, however, were no difference in nutrient reserve concentrations in the hemolymph and ovaries. In the eggs, there was the same trend among treatments as the hepatopancreas nutrient reserves, indicating that both eyestalk ablation and pre-maturation culture conditions (i.e., either biofloc or clear-water) affected the quality of eggs in L. vannamei.
