The evaluation of the biological-productive and economic performance of two varieties the white shrimp Penaeus vannamei in floating cages in an intensive system”. Similarly, in this system no electrical energy and/or fuels are used during cultivation; In addition, the use of antibiotics is completely eliminated, these and other advantages compared to traditional crops. The present work shows that, in financial and economic terms, a floating cage system requires less investment, reduces operating costs and, together with the commercialization of juvenile P. vannamei as bait, becomes an innovative, sustainable and sustainable business.
With this production strategy, no investment is made in pumping water, since this resource is renewed daily with the movement of water through the network caused by the flow of the tides; at the same time, small organisms enter the cage and are ingested by the cultured shrimp, which contributes to lowering the feed conversion factor.
