The shrimp sector is now the world’s fastest-growing protein source. Shrimp is one of the most traded seafood globally and its farming is a success story of scientific aquaculture. Shrimp farming generates millions of employment, and provides foreign exchange to developing countries. About 10 million MT of shrimp are caught or reared each year, of which about 70% come from shrimp farming. Shrimp represents roughly 5% of global aquaculture production. Farm production of shrimps exploded over the past several decades which transitioned the household shrimp consumption. Shrimp aquaculture is concentrated in Asia and Central America and it has long been an environmental concern, as mangroves were often converted, approximately 2,50,000 ha, for farming ponds and pond effluents caused significant damage to surrounding ecosystems. Average emissions are likely about 13.5 kgCO2e/kg edible weight (EW). Further unassured crops due to viral disease outbreaks together with biosecurity, food safety and traceability issues have limited financing available for farmers.

In this context our EC4RAS – Electro-Coagulation based exclusively designed Shrimp RAS would be the solace to shrimp farming sector which could transform the sector into the most sustainable one with low land, water, environmental and carbon footprint together with solving biosecurity, food safety, traceability issues prevailing in pond operations. Huge venture capital investments are available exclusively for Shrimp production in RAS for Asia Pacific Region.
