anyone here know how penaeus vannamei sense their food?
i have searched it but none of the result found state how this white shrimp sense their food. its really helpful if anyone can explain it to me since i'll will start my project this week....>,<

Anyone from Ganix bopping around here I wonder? Very curios about how the Nevada installation is doing. A model that functions well inland with low waste is a dream come true for some of us. I would love to hear some details.

I want to do feasability testing with the freshwater prawn macrobrachium Idella! does anybody have access to this species???

Hi all,  I thought I'd just drop a line to introduce myself as I have just recently joined this group.  I run a Black Tiger Prawn (yes we call shrimp 'prawns' down under) in Australia.  We also have a domestication program started for these species, and currently have generation 4 prawns in our breeding facility. 

I look forward to being involved in discussions on this shrimp group.

Benny ...the shrimp farm list attached to the top of this page needs updating. Some operations mentioned are completely out of business at the site address listed. ADP has a updated list of marine shrimp broodstock and seedstock operations which are participants in the HDOA Shrimp Surveillance and Certification Program (SSCP). Interested parties can contact us directly for the list or you can use it to update this one.

a) thatʻs the reason I have posted the above video.
b) we must bring food security to Hawaiʻi get back our independence.
c) we must bring food safety to Hawaiʻi and not be dependent on untested imports!!!

Dear All,

Longline Environment has developed a dynamic model designed to assist start-up and existing shrimp farms simulate different seeding scenarios, optimise production and water quality issues.

The LM Prawn is a model for the simulation of individual growth and population dynamics of cultivated penaeid shrimp. The model takes into account the physiological processes in the growth cycle of one animal, and scales that to the population.

The model is designed for shrimp pond aquaculture management and has four main uses: (i) prediction of production and feed requirement; (ii) optimisation of seeding size and culture period; (iii) optimisation of farming methods, e.g. monoculture or IMTA with other species (work in progress, by coupling to models e.g. for oysters or mussels); and (iv) profitability assessment.

Because the physiology is explicitly simulated, this allows the calculation of organic waste from undigested food, together with food wastage. Consequently the oxygen balance in a pond or series of ponds can be calculated over the culture cycle. Dissolved oxygen can be determined e.g. on an hourly basis, allowing the model to flag potential critical periods with respect to hypoxia.

We have more information available at - http://www.longline.co.uk/site/products/aquaculture/prawn/

In the coming months LM Prawn will be available commercially. In the meantime we will be looking for shrimp farms to validate the model. if anyone is interested please let me know.

Regards,

Rui

Sorry about the delay in replying over the weekend. The state got out of the hatchery business for Malaysian prawns (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) so currently there is no state hatchery raising and selling post-larval prawns for grow-out. At any rate, no one is selling SPF stock (specific pathogen free). If you wait til next spring you could ask Linda Guzman up in Kaaawa at Aquatic Farms, PO Box 650, Kaaawa, HI 96730. She might do a group sale of post-larvals for grow-out. Phone 237-7080.

Another remote possibility would be Romy Alguinaldo in Kahuku. 56-781 Kamehameha Highway, Kahuku, HI 96731. 232-2202

Lyn Howe on the Big Island was asking as well. She may step back and punt, collecting Macrobrachium lar, Tahitian prawns, which have gone wild in Hawaii streams. Someone also turned her on to traps to use in the streams. She can give you a reference on the traps. M. lar is introduced, and competes with endemic (and possibly eats)endemic 'opae shrimp. Removing M. lar from local streams is not a bad thing. I used to catch them for dinner while hiking.

Check some of the earlier comments in the Shrimp Group and there are some references. There is also a link to a techsheet for Macrobrachium lar
