Success in modern shrimp and fish farming depends directly on technical precision. In the day-to-day operations of the farm, the producer makes crucial decisions based on a specific vocabulary, where terms such as "alkalinity," "carrying capacity," or "FCR" (Feed Conversion Ratio) define the profitability of the operation.
The correct interpretation of these concepts is what separates reactive management from proactive and efficient management. A mistake in evaluating "nitrite," calculating "biomass," or implementing a "biosecurity" protocol can compromise an entire production cycle. Mastering this language is not just theoretical knowledge, but an indispensable management tool.
This glossary was developed as a quick and reliable reference center for the aquaculturist. The objective is to standardize understanding and clarify doubts about the concepts that govern the activity, facilitating communication with technicians, the implementation of advanced management practices, and the accurate recording of data on management platforms, such as Despesca, ensuring faster and more assertive decisions.
