Ecuador's shrimp industry educational program SustainED kicked off its 2026
The first technical workshop of the year was focused on health management and seasonal changes in Ecuadorian shrimp production.Seven speakers and more than 80 aquaculture professionals participated in this first edition of SustainED in 2026. The program will continue throughout the year with six editions. Since the Sustainable Shrimp Partnership (SSP) and Ecuador's National Chamber of Aquaculture (CNA) launched SustainED in September 2024, the Ecuadorian shrimp industry has regularly attended the training sessions of this educational program. The latest gathering, held this Thursday, served to kick off its 2026 agenda.
The technical workshop, focused on health challenges linked to seasonal changes and their impact on shrimp production in Ecuador, featured seven national and international speakers who shared their knowledge and insights with the more than 80 industry professionals who attended the event.
SustainED was created to support the industry with an agenda that responds to what is actually happening on farms, in hatcheries, and in processing plants, said SSP Director Pamela Nath during her remarks.
In Ecuador, the transition between the dry and rainy seasons leads to environmental changes that affect shrimp production, making it essential to have technical tools that allow producers to anticipate challenges and make timely decisions, she added.
Thus, over the course of five technical sessions, participants were able to delve deeper into topics such as early disease detection, seasonal behavior of pathogens, shrimp physiological stability, functional nutrition, and the use of biological tools, all with a practical approach directly applicable in the field.
As mentioned, the event is part of SustainED, a continuing education program promoted by the Sustainable Shrimp Partnership and Ecuador's National Chamber of Aquaculture, aimed at strengthening the sustainability of the industry through knowledge and awareness.
The sustainability of the shrimp industry depends not only on responding to challenges, but on building the capacity to anticipate them. SustainED plays a key role by translating technical knowledge into practical tools that strengthen the entire production chain, emphasized, for his part, CNA Executive President José Antonio Camposano.
As SSP Director Pamela Nath stated in the latest edition of the 'Race to the Top' sustainability forum, sustainability is a decision that needs to be practiced every day. Thus, the SustainED cycle—which stands out as a platform for learning and connection among producers, researchers, technicians, and solution providers—will continue throughout 2026 with six editions, each focused on different links of the production chain.
