GUAYAQUIL, ECUADOR — May 7, 2025 — Jetfeeder, an Ecuadorian aquaculture feeding technology company specializing in shrimp, has introduced its new Nursery Edition Automatic Feeder, designed to provide precise and uniform feeding for shrimp during the nursery stage, one of the most important phases of shrimp farming.

“Shrimp hatcheries are the best way to confirm the quality of the seedstock being purchased,” said Patrick Wood, a renowned vannamei consultant and pioneer in shrimp farming. “When combined with precision feeding and water quality management, hatcheries provide a strong foundation for increasing the efficiency of grow-out ponds and mitigating pre-grow-out risks.”

Specifically designed for hatchery and nursery operations, the Nursery Edition can accommodate up to 500,000 shrimp per unit and handles feed particles ranging from 0.3 to 1.2 mm. The result: more uniform growth, optimized feed conversion, and reduced feed waste.

“Our first customers have achieved exceptional results,” said Fernando Amador of Jetfeeder Ecuador. “This model has already been field-tested and is ready to deliver the efficiency and control that aquaculture producers need.” Early users have reported simplified operation, fewer technical issues, and more consistent shrimp performance. “Compared with other systems we have used, this feeder has been more reliable and easier to operate,” said a representative of Cofimar. “It delivers feed precisely and without complications, and we have observed improved growth and greater uniformity across our ponds.”

Key Benefits of the Jetfeeder Nursery Edition:

• High-precision feed delivery for optimal shrimp size.
• Significant reduction in feed waste.
• Reduced labor requirements and operating costs.
• Greater control over early shrimp development.

The Nursery Edition represents the next evolution in smart aquaculture, helping producers meet the growing demands of the industry while achieving greater sustainability and performance.
