Global Leaders in Balance Line Genetics

SyAqua is at the forefront of shrimp breeding, employing cutting-edge technologies to provide best-in-class hatchery feed, genomic selection, quantitative genetics, and breeding science. Our P. vannamei breeding initiative commenced in Berkeley, California in 2002, extending its reach to diverse markets worldwide, including Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and more. Over the years, our pioneering genetics and nutritional research have yielded widely acclaimed products and programs, earning trust in leading hatcheries and farms globally.

At SyAqua, we advocate for a holistic approach to breeding, emphasizing superior performance in both growth and survival to enhance disease resistance. Our breeding program is rigorously tested against prominent global shrimp diseases, specifically AHPNS (also known as "EMS") and White Spot Syndrome Virus (WSSV). Recognizing the demand for fast-growing post-larvae, we incorporate a state-of-the-art genetic selection process for optimal growth performance. The outcome is a well-balanced breeding program that surpasses all others in both dimensions.
