Shrimp genetic improvement in Ecuador
The authors are exploring alternative models for shrimp breeding that address genotype-environment interactions with solutions that could advance breeding in South and Central America.
Responsibility
New recirculating systems offer efficient, responsible production
Recirculating systems, where probiotic, heterotrophic bacteria compete with pathogenic bacteria, can operate without antibiotics to produce tilapia and shrimp.
Intelligence
Tilapia culture in Ecuador
Tilapia culture in Ecuador is marked by vertically integrated companies that manufacture their own feeds and practice polyculture with Pacific white shrimp.
Responsibility
Low-salinity, inland shrimp culture in Brazil and Ecuador
Some producers take advantage of shrimp's ability to tolerate a broad range of salinity variations by rearing in low-salinity waters.

Raceway nursery production increases shrimp survival and yields in Ecuador
The use of intensive raceway nursery systems to produce juvenile shrimp under biosecure conditions is an important WSSV management tool.
