Advances in super-intensive, zero-exchange shrimp raceways
Research at the Texas AgriLife Research Mariculture Laboratory is investigating ways to improve the economic viability of super-intensive raceways for shrimp production.

Studies advance intensive shrimp culture in zero-exchange biofloc raceways
In ongoing trials of greenhouse-enclosed intensive biofloc shrimp culture systems, the objectives of a 2012 study were to evaluate the performance of fast-growth shrimp fed a commercial diet formulated for high-density culture systems, and to further evaluate injector performance in the zero-exchange, super-intensive raceways.

Texas research advances water treatment methods for intensive biofloc raceways
Shrimp production studies using biofloc technology at the AgriLife Research Mariculture Lab in Texas evaluated different approaches to maintain water quality.

Intensive raceways without water exchange analyzed for white shrimp culture
A study demonstrated that market-size shrimp can be profitably produced with zero water exchange in intensive raceways. The reuse of water that served for an earlier nursery study allowed the immediate establishment of a healthy microbial community in the grow-out study.
