Colombian shrimp production from aquaculture has witnessed significant fluctuations due to the high losses caused by the Taura Syndrome; according to FAO statistics, shrimp production in Colombia amounted 19,500 tons in 2011. While shrimp exports represent less than 1% of the total value of exports, they represent almost 50% of the value of exports created by the entire fish and fishery sector.<\/p>\n

Almost all Colombian shrimp farms use 100% locally produced post larvae (PL) of the whiteleg shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei \u00a0compared to 1997 whereas only about 25% were produced locally.<\/p>\n

Shrimp farms usually stock 12-day-old PL at a stocking density of about 20 PL\/ m\u00b2. Farms are capable to produce up to 2.6 to 2.8 production cycles per year; however, some farms are voluntarily reducing the number of crops to two crops per year. This leaves ponds to dry for several months, instead of producing in bad environmental conditions.<\/p>\n

As shown in the inserted picture, emergency aeration may be practiced in shrimp ponds whereas paddle-wheel aerators are commonly in use.<\/p>\n
