El Niño 2026–2027: How Much Mineral Is Enough? (Part 5)
After rain, Mg, K or alkalinity reads below the table: how much is enough? The 1 mg/L × 1,000 m³ = 1 kg rule, what shrimp actually need according to published trials, and a worked 3,600 m³ pond example that needs only about 36 kg of KCl and 61 kg of sodium bicarbonate for the first step.

Shrimp sounds and AI in precision feeding management
Underwater acoustic sensors can add data on feeding activity that helps farmers adjust their automatic feeders. The technology’s value still has to be verified in the pond, through feed use, growth and environmental conditions.

El Niño 2026–2027: Don't Wait for Shrimp to Get Stressed Before You Act (Part 2)
Instead of asking "what do I dose once shrimp are stressed?", the right question is "how much buffer does my pond have left?" This article covers the 9 buffers shrimp farmers should prepare before El Niño 2026-2027 shifts the weather: oxygen, pH, alkalinity, salinity, dietary minerals, algae, bottom organics, feed and backup water — plus a before/during/after-stress priority table.

El Niño 2026–2027: Not Just About the Heat (Part 1)
The same El Niño, but every shrimp farming region faces a different risk: heavy rain lowering salinity in some places, drought raising it in others, water shortages elsewhere. Summarized from The Fish Site and Global Shrimp Forum 2026 on how El Niño 2026-2027 affects Ecuador, Mexico, India, Vietnam and other shrimp farming regions.

Minimizing Risks Lies in a Systems Management Approach
In modern shrimp farming, there's a rather "painful" reality that many farmers still haven't accepted: Risk mitigation doesn't lie in a single specific medicine bottle, but in the capacity for system management. When disease outbreaks occur, we often frantically search for a new chemical or antibiotic. But according to the philosophy "Good management is a priority", success doesn't come from troubleshooting incidents, but from establishing 5 robust protective barriers.
Practical guidanceShrimp feed management in outdoor ponds for whiteleg shrimp
Feed is the highest variable cost in shrimp production, and feed management has a greater impact on the feed conversion ratio (FCR) at harvest than even feed quality.
Practical guidanceTPD Management Protocol and Shrimp Recovery
TPD causes very rapid collapse, but with proper intervention during the 3 golden days, shrimp have a chance to recover. Most important: do it right – do it sufficiently – do not give up halfway.

Summary of causes and mechanisms of white opaque muscle in Pacific white shrimp in ponds during fluctuating weather
White Opaque Muscle Necrosis is a common and dangerous problem in whiteleg shrimp farming. The disease's pathogenesis, causes, and mechanisms, which involve a combination of environmental stress, physiological factors, toxins, and pathogenic agents, have been validated by international scientific literature.

Managing and controlling coin spot disease in ponds is one of the key strategies for managing gut diseases in shrimp
Than Vuong experimented with and evaluated the control of fungal cells in various farming areas with different salinities. Both laboratory and field results were very good when combined with SoilMax.
