Non-SPF shrimp breeding in Ecuador
This article reports on a breeding program focused only on the improvement of growth rates at associate farms in Ecuador. By applying a localized breeding strategy, the program has yielded an average 7.8 percent annual phenotypic gain for commercial growth rates, while survival has remained fairly constant.
