ECOshrimp - Recirculating Aquaculture System (RAS) Technology
ECOshrimp’s innovative technology is based on an advanced water circulation system that enables recycling of water with minimum liquid discharge (MLD). This ensures that a high water quality is maintained, and creates an ideal growing environment for shrimp.
Other reliable and proven technologies incorporated into ECOshrimp production facilities include industrial production tanks, feeding system, control system, harvesting system, waste water treatment and more.
Customizable to accommodate local infrastructure and specific operator needs, production facilities are modular and suited to annual production levels from 100 ton and up.
In the course of four years of intensive research, ECOshrimp accumulated an unprecedented amount of data, and developed unique culture methodologies, including:
Nutrition protocols
Feed that meets the specific nutritional needs of shrimp grown using RAS, with a low feed conversion ratio (FCR) achieved through optimized feeding modes and an advanced feeding management system.
Growth protocol
Achieving high growth and survival rates, despite high density of shrimp.
The system is modular and currently applicable for the production of 100 – 300 tons per year. The design is based on a 33 t/y production module that can be multiplied by 3-9 modules according to the desired scale of production

Minimal maintenance
The use of components without moving parts reduces maintenance costs and minimizes the risk of system failures.
Energy saving
Isolated construction and efficient design of the water circulation system reduce the amount of energy required to run the facility.
Flexibility
The technology on which the solution is based can be adapted to accommodate different annual production capacities.
