Scientists of various countries, growers, exporters, and officials participated in the technical session ‘Shrimp health management and bio-security requirements’. INVI Technology Director Patrick Lavance said farmers should have knowledge on feeding for healthy growth of seed in the hatcheries. He suggested that farmers use quality feed for good production.
