The Shrimp Forum returned to SENA with insights into innovations in production, the threat of antimicrobial resistance, a unified marketing approach and a forecast from India. 

Un empresario de tecnología en serie y un comerciante de camarón quieren ser Amazon para la industria de cultivo de camarón de la India. Un programa de aceleración a medio mundo de distancia los ha acercado a sus objetivos. 

A serial tech entrepreneur and a shrimp trader want to be Amazon for India’s shrimp farming industry. An accelerator program half a world away has brought them closer to their goals. 

In this third and final part, authors present recommendations to help reduce the incidence of Zoea-2 Syndrome, which is not caused by any known infectious agents in P. vannamei hatcheries in India. 

Indian shrimp hatcheries have experienced larval mortality in the zoea-2 stage, with molt deterioration and resulting in heavy mortality. Authors considered biotic and abiotic factors. Part 2 describes results of their study. 

Indian shrimp hatcheries have experienced larval mortality in the zoea-2 stage, with molt deterioration and resulting in heavy mortality. Authors investigated the problem holistically. 

La India ha fortalecido su papel como proveedor de productos de mar para los principales mercados mundiales. El pangasius seguirá siendo un importante contribuyente a la creciente producción acuícola del país. 

India, now the world’s top farmed shrimp exporter, may lose access to the European marketplace by 2018 due to ongoing issues with antibiotics. 

India has strengthened its role as a supplier of seafood to major global markets. Pangasius will continue to be an important contributor to the country’s growing aquaculture production. 

Accurate PCR testing of shrimp seedstock assures shrimp farmers that their seedstock is clean of major diseases. Ring tests verify that labs conducting PCR testing are obtaining correct, reliable and reproducible results when testing for specific shrimp diseases. 

Arun Dhar, Ph.D. will attempt to fill the “big shoes” of Dr. Donald Lightner at the University of Arizona’s Aquaculture Pathology Laboratory, where the shrimp disease EMS was diagnosed. 

Reservoirs cover about 3 million hectares of surface area in India, and are a growing resource with enormous potential for increasing their fisheries and extensive aquaculture yield, as well as a source of increased employment. 

Food security is a priority in India, and there is huge potential for the expanded culture of non-native fish species. While many farmers have improved their socio-economic conditions through farming non-native fish species, their spread into open water resources presents a threat to biodiversity. 

India has a small trout farming industry in the Himalayan and Southern Peninsula areas. Even though current annual production is only a few hundred tons, the country has many areas that, although geographically difficult to work in, also offer excellent, very large habitats and conditions for trout culture. 

The project produces specific-pathogen-free broodstock with good reproductive performance, fast growth and high survival. More than 60 hatcheries in India have received broodstock from the program.
