FARMING PRACTICES

Aquaculture is the practice of cultivating, breeding, and harvesting aquatic organisms in controlled aquatic environments such as ponds, tanks, or cages. It is also referred to as fish farming, aquafarming, or mariculture.

Vannamei shrimp aquaculture refers to the breeding and cultivation of shrimp in controlled environments such as ponds or farms, rather than collecting shrimp from the wild in the ocean.

Vannamei shrimp aquaculture has gained popularity due to its fast growth rate, adaptability to various environments, and global demand for high-quality shrimp. However, it is important to practice sustainable and responsible aquaculture to minimize environmental impact and ensure product quality.
