Abstract

Mariculture is the direction of aquaculture associated with the cultivation of marine hydrobionts as fish and other aquatic organisms and plants. Although it produces only 13 % of the world’s fish and other seafood products, this industry is characterized by a high rate of development (6-7% annual growth), which is now the highest among all branches of the world’s food industry. Industry performance depends on the industrial implementation of best practices in manufacturing countries. The successful practice of industrial cultivation will be promoted by timely modernization of the technological process. In this regard, the problems of aquaculture practice and the use of technical means in the field of mariculture, considered in this article, are particularly relevant. The authors describe the biotechnological aspects of growing caridean shrimp. As a result of the experimental work carried out by scientists of the Astrakhan state technical University, the conditions for growing caridean shrimp in the South of Russia were adapted and biotechnical standards for obtaining commercial products were developed. Feed own recipes for caridean shrimp were developed. Morphophysiological parameters of caridean shrimp were studied.
