Description
This handbook presents techniques for the farming of tropical freshwater shrimp in Europe.

Focusing on Macrobrachium rosenbergii, it follows five years of rearing and commercial exploitation, relaying the lessons learned in France and further afield for the production of this species. It covers:
  • Characteristics and biology of Macrobrachium rosenbergii
  • Core principles of farming such as climate preference and rearing infrastructure
  • Management throughout the growth phrases, from nursery to pond to harvest
  • Health management and biosecurity considerations
  • Slaughter, cold storage and product marketing
Locally produced in an eco-responsible way, able to tolerate high temperatures and sold fresh through short supply chains, these shrimp can help solve the challenges of contemporary ecological transition. This handy reference book, a translation of the French title Élevage de crevettes d'eau douce en Europe, is an invaluable resource for professionals, students and anyone interested in the aquaculture and production of shrimp.
