ADF&G's Wildlife Notebook Series: Shrimp
Five species of pandalid shrimp of various commercial and
subsistence values are found in the cool waters off the coast of
Alaska. Pink shrimp (Pandalus borealis) are the foundation of the
commercial trawl shrimp fishery in Alaska. Pinks are circumpolar in
distribution, though greatest concentrations occur in the Gulf of
Alaska. Ranging from Puget Sound to the Arctic coast of Alaska, the
humpy shrimp (P. goniurus) is usually harvested incidentally to pink
shrimp.
CSIRO Aquaculture Research
Our research in aquaculture aims to boost the value, competitiveness
and sustainability of Australia’s aquaculture industry. Focused on
farmed finfish, crustaceans and molluscs, our research improves food
production from aquaculture species through integrated studies of
genetics, physiology, health, aquafeeds, environments and food
science.
CSIRO - Black tiger prawn
We partnered with Australian prawn farmers to develop a new prawn
that is producing record farm yields, leading to increased supplies
of top quality, sustainably produced seafood.
CSIRO scientists create world's first fish-free prawn food Novaq
A team of CSIRO scientists has cracked the holy grail of aquaculture
by developing the world's first fish-free prawn food. The royalties
from worldwide licensing deals for the Novaq product will earn the
CSIRO tens of millions of dollars. "The research cost about $10
million. We are very confident that this will generate a return on
investment back to Australian taxpayers of many, many times the
initial investment," CSIRO's Dr Nigel Preston said. There is intense
global interest in Novaq because it solves one of the farmed prawn
industry's biggest problems - its reliance on wild fisheries as a
core ingredient in prawn food.
Shrimp in South Carolina - Shrimp are America's most
valuable and probably most popular seafood. Whole cultures and
maritime communities are based solely on these crustaceans. South
Carolina has two important penaeid shrimp species, brown shrimp (Penaeus
aztecus) and white shrimp (Penaeus setiferus).
The
Southern Shrimp Alliance is a dynamic alliance of eight
southern coastal states from North Carolina to Texas, representing
the harvesters, processors, and distributors of American wild caught
shrimp
Black tiger prawn aquaculture
The black tiger prawn (Penaeus monodon) is a fast-growing tropical
to subtropical species suited to warm, brackish waters. The black
tiger prawn is one of 3 prawn species farmed in Queensland, and the
main species farmed in Australia. Purpose-built earthen ponds,
constructed on coastal lands or adjacent to the estuarine parts of
river systems, are used for the intensive culture of marine prawns.
Successful prawn farming requires a sustainable and clean
coastal resource. The industry is currently regulated by local,
state and, in some areas, commonwealth laws to ensure a high
standard of protection for the environment. Prawns are harvested
early in the year (up to May), and also on demand. Most of the black
tiger prawn crop is sold on the domestic market.
Kuruma prawn aquaculture
The kuruma prawn is a subtropical species native to the Indo-West
Pacific and extending to the Red Sea and Africa. Historically,
kuruma prawns were sold almost exclusively to Japan in live form;
however, production has almost ceased in Queensland, with only one
farm producing limited quantities for the Australian market.
Operating and capital costs for kuruma prawns are generally higher
than for black tiger prawns because of different cultural
environments (e.g. deeper ponds and longer grow-out periods). Feed
for kuruma prawns is also more expensive because of the higher
protein levels required.
Aquaculture facts and figures 2013
A diverse range of sensational seafood including oysters, prawns,
marine and freshwater fish, yabbies and mussels is the result of
aquaculture in New South Wales. The quality seafood produced by NSW
aquaculture farms has won many fine food awards and accolades from
food writers from across Australia. This report includes information
