Abstract
Mariculture is the direction of aquaculture associated with the cultivation of marine hydrobionts as fish and other aquatic organisms and plants. Although it produces only 13 % of the world’s fish and other seafood products, this industry is characterized by a high rate of development (6-7% annual growth), which is now the highest among all branches of the world’s food industry. Industry performance depends on the industrial implementation of best practices in manufacturing countries. The successful practice of industrial cultivation will be promoted by timely modernization of the technological process. In this regard, the problems of aquaculture practice and the use of technical means in the field of mariculture, considered in this article, are particularly relevant. The authors describe the biotechnological aspects of growing caridean shrimp. As a result of the experimental work carried out by scientists of the Astrakhan state technical University, the conditions for growing caridean shrimp in the South of Russia were adapted and biotechnical standards for obtaining commercial products were developed. Feed own recipes for caridean shrimp were developed. Morphophysiological parameters of caridean shrimp were studied.
Highlights
In contrast to fisheries, which are constrained by biological and environmental constraints, the global aquaculture sector continues to grow steadily
In the biotechnological process of shrimp breeding, it is necessary to take into consideration: the terms and the period of egg release to female shrimp pleopods; fertility and duration of hatching period; amount of egg losses within this period; intensity and frequency of larvae hatching; terms and duration of their molts; transition to independent feeding; and the specifics of the cultivation environment for various stages of larvae metamorphosis and producers’ maturation
Macrobrachium rosenbergii are bred in countries located in South-East Asia, Latin America, and the USA [8,9,10], though their breeding is aggravated due to males’ aggressiveness, high requirements to the amount of water, gas and temperature regimes
Summary
In contrast to fisheries, which are constrained by biological and environmental constraints, the global aquaculture sector (marine and freshwater) continues to grow steadily. Fish plays a crucial role in ensuring the food security of the world's population – it accounts for about 20 percent of animal protein and 6.7 percent of all protein consumed by mankind. This level is even higher in some developing regions (Indonesia, Sri Lanka, etc.) and, in particular, in numerous island developing countries, which receive about half of the volume of animal protein from water products. According to the FAO forecast, in order to feed the world's population in 2050, an additional 20 million metric tons of protein will be required, and, according to industry experts, food from the sea will be able to cover most of this need [2].
