Under pressure for environmental impacts during its expansion in the 1990s, shrimp producers and marketplace representatives formed the Global Aquaculture Alliance to hold their industry to higher standards. 

Stocking the best quality shrimp postlarvae, healthy and free of pathogens, is a critical management step with significant effects on the production and profitability of a shrimp farm. 

Shrimp nursery systems offer significant potential for compensatory growth after juveniles are transferred to ponds for final grow-out. Nursery feed selection and their management are critical components of shrimp nursery systems. 

Shrimp nursery systems offer the shrimp industry an important opportunity to increase profits, by helping produce strong, healthy and uniform juveniles with significant potential for compensatory growth after their transfer for final pond grow-out. Biofloc technology and water quality are critical components of shrimp nursery systems. 

Shrimp nursery systems offer an important opportunity to increase profits. Properly designed and operated nurseries are highly biosecure facilities to grow postlarvae at very high densities. 

Boasting ample areas for aquaculture and a robust domestic demand for seafood – not to mention its close proximity to the U.S. market – a land of opportunity lies in Mexico. Fish farming is primed to meet its potential south of the border. 

Brine freezing of shrimp at processing plants requires much less energy than other traditional methods. Brine freezing systems are not complex but require attention to detail during the entire production process. 

This year’s Aquaculture America in San Antonio, Texas, provided significant learning and networking opportunities. It successfully brought together 14 U.S. aquaculture organizations and more than 1,600 participants from Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia. 

El alcanzar mayores tasas de crecimiento en el camarón cultivado comercialmente tiene muchos beneficios importantes, incluyendo la reducción de varios riesgos, la reducción de costos y el aumento de las oportunidades económicas. La genética del camarón determina principalmente cuanto crecimiento adicional se puede lograr, ya que el camarón típicamente refleja las tasas de crecimiento de sus progenitores. 

Los organismos fitoplanctónicos, o microalgas, son muy abundantes en los estanques de acuacultura y tienen un papel crítico en estos ecosistemas, influyendo significativamente en la ecología general del estanque y en la calidad del agua. El manejo adecuado de las poblaciones de fitoplancton es esencial para el éxito de la producción de estanques acuícolas. 

Realizing higher growth rates in commercially cultured shrimp has many important benefits, including reducing various risks, cutting costs and increasing economic opportunities. Shrimp genetics primarily determines the amount of additional growth that can be achieved, as shrimp typically reflect their parents’ growth rates. 

Los métodos eficaces de manejo de los alimentos acuícolas son fundamentales para la producción eficiente de camarón cultivado y para minimizar el impacto ambiental. En la segunda parte de su serie, el Editor Emeritus Darryl Jory analiza la gestión de la alimentación de camarón en términos de aplicación, distribución, frecuencia, cálculos y prácticas de ajuste. 

Los sistemas de producción de camarón y su manejo de alimentos deben ser considerados juntos. Esto requiere una comprensión de los aspectos biológicos de las especies objetivo y de su edad, del sistema de producción utilizado, de los procesos químicos y biológicos que controlan el agua y la calidad del fondo, y del monitoreo continuo del sistema y la retroalimentación para proporcionar insumos y ajustes apropiados y oportunos. 

What started out as a simple yet ambitious contest to drive innovation in the aquafeed sector has evolved into a fully global competition – and collaboration – amongst ingredient suppliers and feed manufacturers.  

The operators of Hudson Valley Fish Farm see their inland locale as a pilot to prove that land-based fish farming, located in close proximity to major metropolitan markets, can be successful.
