Energy Use In Shrimp FarmingStudy In Australia Keys On Aeration, Pumping Demands

摘要

While intensive shrimp farms in Australia and elsewhere are sensitive to rising energy prices, global intensification and farming innovations have led to significant improvements in shrimp farm energy efficiency. Important among the changes was the global switch to zero-exchange production of white shrimp. Black tiger shrimp producers can adopt some features of the model for white shrimp, such as the use of genetically selected, high-health stocks, but it remains to be seen how far down the zero-exchange path they can go.
