Japan: First-Ever Simultaneous Cultivation of Whiteleg Shrimp and Herbs in Seawater
17 June 2025 1929 View
In this pilot experiment, seawater will be used in an aquaponics system to raise whiteleg shrimp — a species in high demand in Japan. The same water will be circulated through planting beds to grow salt-tolerant crops such as Swiss chard and high-value herbs. Throughout the experiment, sensors will be used to collect essential data for both shrimp and plants, and their symbiotic effects will be studied with the goal of commercializing brackish water aquaponics. As part of this goal, the company

17 June 2025 1505 View
Vietnam’s fisheries sector has achieved many significant milestones in recent years, contributing to the country’s national economic development. In 2024, total seafood output reached nearly 9.7 million tons, with export turnover exceeding USD 10.03 billion, placing Vietnam among the Top 3 largest seafood exporters in the world. Science and technology have been a key driving force behind this success, especially in selective breeding of major aquaculture species such as black tiger shrimp,
Distinguishing Between Powder and Liquid Probiotics in Aquaculture
17 June 2025 1711 View
Probiotics play a crucial role in aquaculture due to their practical benefits. Firstly, they help improve water quality by breaking down excess organic matter, uneaten feed, feces, and dead plankton. This reduces the formation of toxic compounds such as ammonia (NH₃), nitrite (NO₂⁻), and hydrogen sulfide (H₂S).
Cost-Saving Solutions for Shrimp Farming: Reducing Production Costs and Preventing Diseases
04 July 2025 1881 View
As of now, the total brackish water shrimp farming area in Soc Trang province has reached 16,000 hectares, including 13,470 ha of whiteleg shrimp and 2,530 ha of black tiger shrimp. The estimated harvested output of brackish shrimp is 35,500 tons, with damaged shrimp area accounting for 1.8%. Raw shrimp prices have slightly increased: whiteleg shrimp sized 20–80 pieces/kg are priced higher than the same period last year, ranging from 24,000 to 32,000 VND/kg, while prices for other sizes remain

Sediment refers to a mixture of small solid particles such as clay, dust, and fine silt carried by water currents. In water sourced from rivers, canals, or reservoirs—especially during the rainy season or flood discharge—sediment levels can be extremely high.
Ecuador’s Shrimp Industry Amid Global Tariff Turmoil – Strategic Lessons for Vietnam
04 July 2025 1793 View
Ecuador has emerged as a standout performer in the global shrimp industry, achieving remarkable growth despite significant global challenges — including anti-dumping (AD) duties, countervailing duties (CVD), and rising trade barriers from the U.S. Instead of relying heavily on the Chinese market as in previous years, Ecuadorian shrimp exporters quickly shifted strategies. Notably, exports to Europe reached 155.3 million pounds in Q1 2025 — a 37% year-on-year increase — propelling the EU
Adverse Weather Forces Shrimp Farmers to Suspend Stocking
