This book brings together information often difficult to find, joining the worlds of aquaculture science and industry production, through the leveraging oftheir synergies and dependencies. It contains a wealth of scientific knowledge which can only be traced in a fragmented manner in specialised journals. It also includes the description of farming practices and the actual implementation of new technologies, information which is often presented in industry conferences, but rarely reaches publication. INDICE: INTRODUCTION. Technical Evolution of Shrimp Farming & Status of Global & Regional Production. Small-scale Shrimp Farmers: challenges & opportunities for better market access. THE SHRIMP. Functional Anatomy & Basic Physiology: Biology, Homeostasis, Reproduction.• The Molt Cycle. Larval & postlarval ontogenetic development & digestive physiology. Immunology & Immunostimulation.Genetics Review & Application. PRODUCTION SYSTEMS. Review of commercial broodstock production, maturation & hatchery production systems. Farm production systems: – Extensive & Integrated shrimp farming – Semiextensive: Ecuadorian model, Madagascar – Intensive: Indonesia, Peru, Belize, Thailand – Superintensive: USA (Hawaii). Hydrobiology of paralic systems in farm site selection & watermanagement. Pond & soil management. The application of re-circulation technology for intensive shrimp production (also in ponds, focus on microbial management systems - bioflocs technology). Selective Breeding: SPF, Disease Resistance, Growth, Performance. BMPs & Certification Systems. An assessment of costs, benefits & impacts of aquaculture & fisheries standards. White Spot, an inflexion point for the industry. FEEDS & FEEDING. Nutrient Requirements & Current Status of Shrimp Nutrition Research. New horizons in Mineral & Vitamin Nutrition. Raw material evaluation strategies for shrimp diets - Optimising raw material sustainability. New horizons in Mineral & Vitamin Nutrition. Practical FeedManagement. Neutraceuticals.
