Shrimp breeding for resistance to Taura Syndrome Virus
In response to Taura Syndrome Virus outbreaks, the U.S. Marine Shrimp Farming Program initiated a selective-breeding program to improve resistance in Pacific white shrimp.

Establishing nitrifying bacteria in super-intensive biofloc shrimp production
In biofloc production systems, ammonia-oxidizing bacteria process ammonia to nitrite, which provides substrate for nitrite-oxidizing bacteria that process nitrite to relatively non-toxic nitrate.

Thailand study: Performance trials generate important result
In research involving white shrimp siblings raised in ponds in Thailand and in raceways in Hawaii, shrimp growth can be improved after one generation of selection, even with a modest investment.

Commercial-scale RAS trial yields record shrimp production
A super-intensive, commercial-scale RAS trial with Pacific white shrimp at Oceanic Institute achieved record production at a low cost and with low stocking densities.

Super-intensive RAS trial yields encouraging shrimp harvest at Oceanic Institute
A super-intensive RAS grow-out trial produced 5.7 kg of shrimp per square meter in 14 weeks using minimal water volume and only 0.34 percent daily water exchange.
