Cargill’s iQShrimp is a novel, cloud-based, digital platform that can capture and record relevant data from shrimp ponds through various automated systems to help shrimp farmers manage risk and make better management decisions. 

The consensus among several presenters at the aquaculture portion of the Alltech ONE18 conference was clear: Much more seafood is needed to feed humans, whose numbers will reach 8 billion in less than six years. 

The World Aquaculture Society’s latest Lifetime Achievement Award recipient reflects on 50 years in the business of producing high-quality, nutritious feeds for the poultry, livestock and aquaculture industries. 

The application of probiotics, prebiotics and lipopolysaccharides has shown positive results with farmed shrimp, and is a very promising field, but more research is needed to clarify and foresee the molecular impact of these biological entities. 

Studies showed that the demand feeding system for farmed shrimp – based on multi-rations and combined with sound detection – can be used to distribute the correct dosage of aquafeed with high nutritional density. 

Study demonstrates that isolated phages tested are effective in controlling AHPND infection in farmed penaeid shrimp and inhibiting bacterial growth. 

The University of Arizona’s Aquaculture Pathology Laboratory has significantly contributed to the expansion of the shrimp farming for three decades. 

The University of Arizona Aquaculture Pathology Laboratory has carried out the Proficiency Test (PT) since 2005, with 300-plus diagnostic laboratories participating while improving their capabilities in the diagnosis of several shrimp pathogens. 

This study evaluated the relationship between the molting stage, age and osmotic stress in Pacific white shrimp postlarvae. The results indicate that osmotic stress tests should be done only with at least PL12 at the intermolt stage and that were cultured at 35 ppt salinity and 29 degrees-C. 

MicroSynbiotiX is employing the power of transgenic microalgae to make it cheaper and easier for aquaculture producers to administer vaccines to fish. 

A greenhouse in Belgium believes its innovative shrimp feed product, made from freeze-dried microalgae, packs the necessary nutrients for the crustacean’s most vulnerable life stage: the first three days of its life. 

The GOAL 2017 production survey for global shrimp farming production showed a minor recovery for 2016, with production expected to strengthen through 2019, when global farmed production should reach 4.82 million metric tons (MMT), barring major shrimp disease issues. 

Group certification can streamline the auditing process, saving farmers time and money while improving economic conditions for all participants. It also has the potential to cause rifts among competitors. 

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