Shrimp farming is a relatively young activity when compared to land-based animal farming. With worldwide outputs ranging from 3 to 3.5 million tons a year, this type of farming is one of the leading sectors in aquaculture. To this end, feed for shrimp must suit the physiological and behavioral constraints of shrimp. These specificities absolutely cannot be overlooked. Nibbling and molt, among other things, are obvious signs of these marked differences.Despite being relatively recent, this industry has managed to evolve to a point where it is now able to offer a multitude of breeding systems that are adaptable depending on the various contexts of livestock productions. |
