Intensive production of Pacific white shrimp in a photo-heterotrophic, hypersaline system: Part 1

This study showed that the use of a hypersaline system for shrimp culture with minimal seawater replacement can produce results comparable to those obtained in marine or brackish shrimp farming systems.

Hyper-intensive nursery systems offer advantages for shrimp culture

Hyper-intensive nursery systems for juvenile shrimp production present significant opportunities for shrimp farmers to increase profits. Nursery culture results in strong, healthy and uniform juveniles with great potential for compensatory growth when stocked in production ponds. Nurseries produce a maximum number of juveniles of a desired weight, and their use can reduce production costs by shortening time in growout ponds and increasing pond efficiency through additional cycles per year.
