As Oscar Hennig prepares to take the stage in #Guayaquil at AQUAEXPO later this month, take the chance to watch him in action back in June at the 2024 Shrimp Summit in Chennai, India. https://hubs.la/Q02SdtW40 In this 15-minute talk, Oscar highlights how genetic improvement programs play a pivotal role in maximizing productivity and profitability. He breaks down the main advantages of three key breeding strategies: mass selection, family selection, and genomic selection - while highlighting the successes of Ecuador's approach as the world’s largest exporter with the lowest production costs of Whiteleg Shrimp. 🌟Fun Fact: CAT’s clients in Ecuador represented 45% of all production in 2023. 🚨Spoiler Alert: The key lesson revealed is that breeding for local conditions is essential for tackling today’s challenges. The best part is that the benefits are cumulative, and the worst decision is waiting to take action! Want to learn more?
