Responsibility
New recirculating systems offer efficient, responsible production
Recirculating systems, where probiotic, heterotrophic bacteria compete with pathogenic bacteria, can operate without antibiotics to produce tilapia and shrimp.
Health & Welfare
The PescaMaris shrimp farm in Ecuador uses fish peptide isolates to accelerate probiotic bacteria growth and improve water quality.

Intelligence
Tilapia culture in Ecuador is marked by vertically integrated companies that manufacture their own feeds and practice polyculture with Pacific white shrimp.
Responsibility
Some producers take advantage of shrimp's ability to tolerate a broad range of salinity variations by rearing in low-salinity waters.
Health & Welfare
The use of intensive raceway nursery systems to produce juvenile shrimp under biosecure conditions is an important WSSV management tool.
