Promising to tell you the Prawn, the whole Prawn and nothing but the Prawn. Here I shine a light on global shrimp aquaculture and downstream markets. For those looking in from outside and those inside interested in the wider outside. Food trends, intelligence, tech, regulatory, investment and some fun, way out, or even wacky, shrimp material. Compressing 4,000 years of shrimp knowledge into 40 years – and counting.
What used to be called intensive shrimp farming (4MT/ha) is now considered semi-intensive.
Intensive farming is now anything up to 50MT/hectare or around 5kg/cbm. The biofloc range limitation.
Above 5kg one is now talking super-intensive – up to 15kg/cbm.
Above 15kg/cbm then one is into the realm of hyper-intensive…or even ridiculous-intensive (until it happens time after time)…
