At the same event during 2 days of technical forums, ideas and technologies were discussed to support and improve the Chinese shrimp industry. Due to some acute challenges in 2018 such as disease outbreaks, environmental decay, broodstock issues, price battles between hatcheries and market upset due to shrimp import, these forums were a very welcome platform for industry-wide discussion and re-orientation.
In an exclusive interview, our regional sales director for Asia, Mr. Rudi Bijnens, highlighted the importance of Chinese aquaculture in the world and expressed his hope that the Chinese shrimp industry will soon be able to look forward to a better situation. Dr. Chai Yu, our area manager for China, suggested in his Q&A session that optimized nutrition and biosecurity can prove to be an important post-larval efficiency booster for many Chinese hatcheries.
