Shrimp farming in New Caledonia has an important economic impact, through exports and by providing jobs in rural areas.
Intelligence
The final factor in developing a heterotrophic system is the amount of organic material being fed to a pond, and the carbon per nitrogen balance of that material.
Intelligence
In high-density systems with zero water exchange, pond ecology shifts from an autotrophic, phytoplankton-based microbial community to a heterotrophic, bacterial-based community.
Intelligence
Square-shaped and deep ponds may explain partially why Belize Aquaculture is able to produce a large amount of shrimp on a unit area basis.
Intelligence
A zero-water-exchange strategy to produce shrimp reduces the effluents and sediments that would normally be released to the environment by a typical intensive shrimp farm.
Intelligence
The focus at Belize Aquaculture Ltd. was to use clean animals that perform well at high densities and in waters with high nutrient loads.
Intelligence
Conventional wisdom for farming white shrimp involves semi-intensive culture in large ponds, routine water exchange and reliance on wild broodstock.
