Will U.S. Countervailing Duties Reshape the Global Shrimp Trade?

Will U.S. Countervailing Duties Reshape the Global Shrimp Trade?

At 11:01 AM on April 9 (Vietnam time), President Donald Trump's countervailing duty policy officially took effect, including a 46% tariff on Vietnamese imports. Along with Vietnam, 85 other countries are now subject to significantly higher tariffs.
Taurine: Supporting the Reduction of Reproductive Waiting Time in Shrimp Broodstock

Taurine: Supporting the Reduction of Reproductive Waiting Time in Shrimp Broodstock

A study investigated the effects of dietary taurine supplementation on ovarian maturation and physiological responses in female Penaeus vannamei. A total of 180 broodstock shrimp (29.4 g average weight) were reared in 18 tanks of 250 liters at the Persian Gulf University to examine the impact of taurine in the diet. The shrimp were acclimated for 2 weeks and maintained in UV-sterilized seawater at 28.9°C, with 80% water exchanged daily, and under artificial lighting conditions (12 hours light/12
SHOULD PROBIOTICS BE USED IN SHRIMP PONDS DURING HOT WEATHER?

SHOULD PROBIOTICS BE USED IN SHRIMP PONDS DURING HOT WEATHER?

The prolonged heat wave across the country has led to a widespread increase in temperatures, which significantly raises the respiration rate of shrimp (especially white-leg shrimp) and accelerates biochemical reactions in the water, resulting in higher oxygen demand. This situation often causes oxygen depletion in the pond and increases the risk of shrimp experiencing heat shock.
Polychaetes in Shrimp Farming: Supporting Success Through Safer Practices

Polychaetes in Shrimp Farming: Supporting Success Through Safer Practices

Polychaetes, or marine worms, are an essential part of shrimp farming, particularly as a key dietary component for broodstock. When fed live, polychaetes such as palolo worms, lugworms, and sand worms naturally enhance broodstock maturation, leading to increased offspring production and healthier shrimp populations. However, careful consideration of where and how these polychaetes are sourced can further strengthen shrimp farming practices — in particular biosecurity — ensuring long-term
How to Maintain the Water Quality for Vannamei Shrimp Ponds to Stay Optimal

How to Maintain the Water Quality for Vannamei Shrimp Ponds to Stay Optimal

Ponds are artificial ecosystems where vannamei shrimp grow until they are ready to be harvested. One of the efforts to protect the pond ecosystem is maintaining water quality. Therefore, farmers must know how to maintain pond water quality.
Does Weekly Sampling Really Cause Losses in Shrimp Farms?

Does Weekly Sampling Really Cause Losses in Shrimp Farms?

One crucial aspect of vannamei shrimp farming is weekly sampling. Sampling, which is done by observing several shrimp as a representative of the whole cultivation, is carried out to assess shrimp growth and condition as well as calculate their feed requirements. Unfortunately, many farmers are reluctant to perform sampling because they believe that it can lead to shrimp mortality and financial losses. What is the right way to conduct sampling to avoid such losses?
Partial Harvest or Total Harvest? You Might Want to Consider These

Partial Harvest or Total Harvest? You Might Want to Consider These

Harvesting is the final stage in the cultivation process when farmers take shrimp that have been cultivated for some time. During harvesting, farmers can evaluate the cultivation process that has been carried out for their considerations to implement better SOPs in the next cycle.
Vannamei Shrimp Life Cycle: From Eggs to Adult Shrimp

Vannamei Shrimp Life Cycle: From Eggs to Adult Shrimp

The vannamei shrimp life cycle consists of several stages, starting from eggs to finally becoming adult shrimp. Every developmental stage has different characteristics.
Vibrio: The Cause of Shrimp Diseases and How to Prevent

Vibrio: The Cause of Shrimp Diseases and How to Prevent

Vibrio bacteria is the major threat lurking in shrimp farming besides viruses. Its presence harms shrimp and may cause a number of deadly diseases when the density is > 10⁴ CFU/mL. If left untreated, this disease will cause mass shrimp deaths and lead to economic losses for farmers.
Factors that Affect the Change of Salinity Level in Shrimp Ponds

Factors that Affect the Change of Salinity Level in Shrimp Ponds

One of the most significant aspects of shrimp farming is the monitoring of water quality. There are several parameters that need to be maintained to ensure that the quality of shrimp pond water remains ideal, one of which is salinity.
Vitamins for Vannamei Shrimp to Grow Faster

Vitamins for Vannamei Shrimp to Grow Faster

In shrimp cultivation, nutrition is one of the key factors that must be considered for optimal shrimp growth. In addition to proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates that shrimp can obtain from their feed, farmers also need to provide vitamins to support shrimp growth. Vitamins are typically mixed into the feed at a dose of around 3 g/1 kg of feed. What are the essential vitamins for vannamei shrimp to grow faster?
How to Get Rid of Moss in Shrimp Farms

How to Get Rid of Moss in Shrimp Farms

Moss is one of the plants that can grow in shrimp farms. Excessive moss growth in farms can lead to loss in shrimp cultivation, as moss decreases water quality and hinders shrimp growth. Moss can be removed by improving and maintaining pond water quality, installing netting fences, and using biological agents. Learn more about how to prevent and get rid of moss in your shrimp farm through this article.
