title

The latest advanced examples of land-based cultivation of vannamei in Thailand and Germany

Abstract of the lecture

In recent years, the shrimp farming industry has undergone major changes. In the case of shrimp farming in ponds, the rising cost of feed and electricity has led to rising production costs, while the increase in global production has led to falling sales prices. We believe that further advances in land-based farming technology will enable domestic shrimp to be competitive with imported shrimp. We would like to introduce this new technology.

Regarding the notification system for land-based aquaculture

Abstract of the lecture

On April 1, 2023, land-based aquaculture was designated as a notified aquaculture business under the Law Concerning the Promotion of Inland Water Fisheries (Law No. 103 of 2014, hereinafter referred to as the "Law"). In this lecture, we will explain the outline of the system and introduce the subsidy programs that can be used for land-based aquaculture.

Drug-free eel farming initiative

Abstract of the lecture

In the world of eel farming, several types of medicine are generally used to maintain the health of the eels and treat any illnesses. However, based on the idea that "healthy eels are delicious" and keeping the eels healthy without relying on the power of medicine, we have achieved drug-free eel farming after many attempts and failures.
