Lowering the Carbon Footprint of Shrimp Production

Shrimp aquaculture is one of the fastestgrowing sectors in global food production, supplying high-value protein to meet increasing consumer demand. As the industry scales, concerns about its environmental footprint, particularly related to feed production and usage, have intensified. Feed accounts for a major share of farm-level greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in shrimp farming, making feed efficiency a critical area for intervention. Key performance indicators such as feed conversion ratio (FCR) and specific growth rate (SGR) are central to both economic and environmental sustainability.
