Proposal summary:
The culture of freshwater shrimp (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) in temperate regions continues to expand to meet increased demand in local markets, leading to annual increases in production and numbers of farm enterprises. Our operation needs to develop innovative nursery techniques to produce larger quantities of juvenile shrimp in our existing indoor recalculating systems, to meet the increased seed stock needs of new farmers in our region.
