A study determined the zootechnical performance of Pacific white shrimp under different light regimes. Shrimp exposed to light had better zootechnical parameters than those with reduced or no exposure. 

Results of this study show that automated feeding systems are significantly more efficient than hand feeding in shrimp production ponds and that increases in feed input, application of adaptive technology and training of people to maintain the feeding system must all be considered. 

In this feeding study with Pacific white shrimp juveniles cultured at very high density in a closed system, results showed that continuous feeding with a high protein diet is less practical than feeding the shrimp with a low protein diet and under mixed feeding schedules. 

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. 

Los alimentos acuícolas para camarón – vivos, frescos o formulados – no deben ser un punto de entrada de patógenos potenciales para el camarón y/o sus sistemas de cultivo. 

Research from experimental trials demonstrate that dietary potassium diformate improves survival, growth and productivity in Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei), including in the presence of the Gram-negative, pathogenic bacterium V. harveyi. 

El cultivo del camarón tierra adentro tiene numerosas ventajas – mejora la bioseguridad, el costo más bajo de la tierra, y reduce los conflictos con otros usuarios de recursos comunes como la tierra y el agua – y seguirá expandiéndose hacia nuevas áreas. 

Shrimp aquafeeds – live, fresh or formulated – should not be an entry point of potential pathogens to the shrimp and/or to their culture systems. 

Inland shrimp culture has numerous advantages – improved biosecurity, lower cost of land and reduced conflicts with other users of common resources like land and water – and will continue to expand into new areas. 

A study compared the bioavailability of crude protein and lipid from biofloc meals generated with an activated sludge system using two water sources: wastewater from shrimp experimental culture (BFL-W) and, artificially, using clean seawater (BFL-C). 

Accurate PCR testing of shrimp seedstock assures shrimp farmers that their seedstock is clean of major diseases. Ring tests verify that labs conducting PCR testing are obtaining correct, reliable and reproducible results when testing for specific shrimp diseases. 

Este estudio evaluó cinco dietas formuladas con niveles crecientes de metionina (Met) y Met + cisteína (Cys) y sus efectos sobre el crecimiento de juveniles de camarones blancos del Pacífico sembrados a 50, 75 o 100 animales/m2 en un sistema de agua verde. 

Shrimp production systems and their feed management must be considered together. It requires an understanding of biological aspects of the targeted species and age, of production system used, of chemical and biological processes that control water and bottom quality and continuous system monitoring and feedback to provide appropriate and timely inputs and adjustments. 

Studies demonstrate that hydrolyzed soy protein can be well digested and utilized by Pacific white shrimp, and that digestibility is improved through a bioprocess with the bacterium Lactobacillus spp. 

El uso de la tecnología de biofloc (BFT) está aumentando en la producción comercial de varias especies acuáticas importantes, ya que puede aumentar la producción y la eficiencia y minimizar los posibles impactos de los efluentes. Este estudio mostró que los sistemas BFT sin recambio de agua y suplementados con melaza o dextrosa como fuente de carbono producen un rendimiento y calidad de agua adecuados durante la fase de criadero de L. vannamei.
