- Abstract
Feed Cost: Ingredients used for shrimp feed formulations have had marked increases in the past decade, with fishmeal and fish oil at average prices of US$1496/ton and US$2348/ton, respectively (BCRPData, [3], [4]). Hyper-intensive RAS production needs to complete its validation process, but when it does, will eventually contribute to a reduced carbon-footprint by establishing production areas near niche markets (live shrimp, head-on, never frozen shrimp, etc.) Streamlined and continuous offer of high quality, traceable, shrimp from certified farms would reduce seasonal price variations and eventually lead to production contracts of insured crops. We have seen a significant growth of the shrimp industry over the last decade.
