Shrimp Aquaculture Program

   

Interest in commercial shrimp production in Florida’s low salinity inland water is growing.  Mote Aquaculture Park (MAP) is in the process of constructing a commercial shrimp demonstration project.  This project has been initiated to develop sustainable shrimp farming techniques in low salinity inland waters. These ‘state of the art’ production systems have been designed to culture shrimp at high densities in low salinity waters.  These systems will re-process and re-use all culture waters with zero discharge. The ultimate goal of this demonstration effort is to eliminate any negative environmental impacts of shrimp farms in the state of Florida while maintaining a high quality, fresh and healthy product for consumers.
