Conclusions
Aquaculture in RN is practically synonymous with
shrimp farming. Indeed, for 2010, the expected output was
30,000 t of farmed shrimp, which represents 40 percent of
all Brazilian production. However, increasing efforts on re-
search, development and education, coupled with adequate
natural conditions, indicate that a more diversified aquacul-
ture industry in RN is on the horizon.
