Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Aquaculture plays a vital role in fishing agriculture. Shrimp farming is an area of aquaculture that has witnessed significant growth in recent years, contributing substantially to global aquaculture production. Global yearly shrimp production has increased by approximately five million tons in the last 20 years, with China being a major shrimp farming country. To investigate the stability and sustainable development of shrimp aquaculture is therefore very important.
The application of modern biotechnological tools in genetic breeding, alternative feed ingredients in nutritious and aquaculture feed of shrimp, and vaccine development in the prevention and treatment of shrimp diseases has enabled shrimp aquaculture to progress efficiently.
This Special Issue focuses on different aspects of shrimp research that could provide a basic reference for shrimp aquaculture. Research includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:
- Genetic breeding;
- Reproductive physiology;
- Nutritious and aquaculture feed;
- Disease prevention;
- Aquaculture patterns and environment interactions;
- Shrimp aquaculture development.
