German feeding systems specialist WEDA Dammann & Westerkamp GmbH partnered with Damm Aquakultur GmbH & Co. KG to advance shrimp and fish farming practices in Germany. This partnership aims to improve areas such as husbandry, feeding, water treatment, and rearing technologies in marine aquaculture.

Strengths of the Partners

Damm Aquakultur operates a modern shrimp breeding facility in Germany, utilising an innovative system designed in-house. The company focuses on cultivating shrimp under controlled conditions with sustainable resources, producing high-quality shrimp that are free of medication. Their operational ethos prioritises animal welfare and environmental protection throughout the supply chain.

WEDA Dammann & Westerkamp has a long-standing presence in agricultural technology since its establishment in 1934. The company has been involved in various aquaculture projects, providing systems that enhance feeding accuracy, hygiene, and efficiency in operations.

Sustainability Focus

Both companies underscore the importance of sustainable practices in shrimp farming. The partnership aims to implement solutions that address energy efficiency, water consumption, and CO2 emissions, along with ensuring species-appropriate husbandry. Such practices align with broader industry trends towards more environmentally responsible aquaculture methods.

WEDA’s feeding systems are designed to reduce operational waste, optimizing the delivery of feed and minimizing costs associated with excess feed wastage. The technology has been developed for ease of use, allowing adaptable applications across different regions and sizes of aquaculture operations. This adaptability may simplify the integration of these systems into existing production frameworks for shrimp farming.
