Improving the osmoregulatory capacity of Pacific white shrimp grown in low salinity
Study shows it is possible to improve shrimp production in low-salinity waters by correcting magnesium and potassium deficiencies.

Evaluating extruded feeds for juvenile Pacific white shrimp
In a study of extruded feeds given to Pacific white shrimp juveniles, results showed shorter crop cycles, higher production yields and a cost reduction.

Rising use of automatic feeders in shrimp ponds poses new feed requirements
The increasing use of automatic feeding systems in shrimp ponds has brought attention to the need to improve the physical quality of aquafeeds, because their properties largely affect the performance of these feeders.

Demand feeding through automatic dispensing systems
Studies showed that the demand feeding system for farmed shrimp – based on multi-rations and combined with sound detection – can be used to distribute the correct dosage of aquafeed with high nutritional density.

Study finds alternative anesthetic safe for tilapia fingerlings, breeders
Studies have proposed the use of anesthetics obtained from natural sources as alternatives to conventional chemicals. The authors recently evaluated the efficacy of the anesthetic Eugenol with a small sampling of red tilapia fingerlings and breeders.
