A focus on baby … shrimp?
When looking at supporting shrimp growth and development, addressing disease can be a consideration.
The Maryland-based startup, VakSea, has been working to develop an edible immune-boosting protein grown in insects to help address disease issues in shrimp – during a period when they would be too small to be vaccinated by another process.
Other companies like Nor Feed have been exploring ways to improve feed conversion for young shrimp.
Taking a wider at production, an international research team has been tracking the potential for metabolic programming in shrimp as a way to improve growth performance in later stages of development.
