Common problems in aquaculture occur by naturally present opportunistic bacteria that may become pathogenic when the host immune system is weakened by environmental stress. The selective establishment of beneficial microbiota in the gut is crucial for the stable production of healthy fish larvae. The microbial colonization of the fish gut […]

In the food-energy-water (FEW) nexus, livestock has a dominant place. It is generally considered as water, energy and land intensive. Aquaculture could provide additional animal protein and contribute to meeting the food demand. This study assesses the sustainability of aquaculture using the indicators water footprint (WF), energy footprint (EF) and […]
Vannamei shrimp production with super-intensive technology is the future orientation of aquaculture systems with the concept of low volume high density, that is by not requiring a large area, so it was easily controlled, but has high productivity. Therefore, shrimp production with a super intensive system can be successful and […]
Aquaculture production has risen over the last decades, and it is expected to continue to grow which means the proportional increment amount of waste. ‘Circular economy’ has been defined as “an economic system that replaces the ‘end-of-life’ concept with reducing, alternatively reusing, recycling, and recovering materials in production, distribution and […]
The Mekong Delta of Vietnam has the greatest potential for shrimp aquaculture, an activity that plays a vital role in rural development and helps approximately one million fish farmers to achieve a sustainable livelihood. However, shrimp farms in the Mekong Delta are being affected by various diseases which seriously constrain […]
This new volume of The Shrimp Book is complementary to the first, bringing together new knowledge, new technologies, new perspectives and new ideas from 98 international authors, from both academia and industry. While Volume I was conceived from the academic experience, this new volume originates from the farming experience. There […]
The total global production of farmed marine shrimp increased 86% in the past 10 years, reaching more than 6.5 million tons in 2019 and a value of nearly 40 billion U.S. dollars. Much of the industry growth over the past 30 years has been achieved through horizontal expansion, that is […]
The two international shrimp genetics suppliers announce their merger to create “Blue Genetics Global” a new player tailor-made to meet the major challenges of key players in the shrimp industry around the world. Blue Genetics Mexico, a subsidiary of Groupe Grimaud (one of the world leaders in multispecies animal genetic […]
Shrimp counting is essential for farmers to estimate and manage hatching. However, counting shrimp from images is a challenging task for several reasons, including the small size of shrimp and their transparent color, which we cannot easily see. An additional challenge to shrimp counting that is not present in shrimp […]
The global demand for seafood continues to increase over the years, generating the need for new technologies to improve production processes. Fish farming has emerged as an answer to satisfy seafood requirements, but also to protect oceans from overfishing, contributing to producing healthy food and guaranteeing a better feed conversion […]
