Intelligence
In the evolution of shrimp farming, white shrimp emerged as the primary species. While some farms in the Americas successfully converted to intensive practices, wide adoption has been limited.
Health & Welfare
A study showed that lipid source and DHA and EPA levels in feeds can influence the growth performance and tail fatty acid profiles of L. vannamei farmed under hypersaline conditions.
Responsibility
India farmers are considering ways to boost production. If approved on a wider basis, production of Pacific white shrimp could boost overall yields.
Intelligence
Research at the Oceanic Institute found that white shrimp grown in a raceway at high density could reach 34-grams in 155 days with minimal water use.
Health & Welfare
In L. vannamei trials in Indonesia, results confirmed that somewhat lower protein levels in feed had no effect on production performance.
