Building a better shrimp nursery, part 1
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.
Health & Welfare
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.

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.
Innovation & Investment
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.
Aquafeeds
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.
Aquafeeds
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.

There are similarities and differences between the various aquaculture certification programs but until recently there has been little publicly available analysis to document those points. Michael Tlusty, director of ocean sustainability science at the New England Aquarium, provided it at GOAL 2016.

Effective aquafeed management methods are critical for efficient production of farmed shrimp, and to minimize environmental impact. In the second part of his series, Editor Emeritus Darryl Jory looks at shrimp feed management in terms of application, distribution, frequency, calculations and adjustment practices.

Throughout the United States, a handful of aquaculture entrepreneurs are farming shrimp in indoor facilities. Selling their product is not the problem – securing funds to grow to commercial scale is. Start-ups and established farms share their tales of trial and error and why, against the odds, they’re sticking to it.

En esta última entrega de la extensa serie de tres partes de Hervé Lucien-Brun, el autor detalla los pasos finales en el proceso de llevar el camarón de cultivo al mercado. Aquí echamos un vistazo a los protocolos adecuados para recibir producto en la planta de procesamiento, para su pesaje, clasificación y congelación.
