Skretting has officially introduced three new shrimp nutrition products in Ecuador, including InVita, Ignis, and Optiline Starters. The line is designed to support shrimp growth from the larval stage through full grow-out.
Why it matters
These products leverage advanced nutritional science to address performance and hydration needs in aquaculture, potentially improving survival and growth rates. Skretting intends to expand availability of these specific feeds to additional international markets following the initial Ecuador release.
The new product development process included 15 trials and 100 in vivo tests conducted across Ecuador, Vietnam, Belgium, and Mexico. These figures confirm the testing scope required to validate the nutrition performance prior to the commercial launch.
The players

The Big Picture
This release follows the deployment of the Factory in a Box platform, marking a shift toward localized, modular production of specialized aquaculture feed. This infrastructure allows Skretting to scale the manufacture of high-tech supplements more efficiently than traditional centralized models.
The availability of these specialized supplements offers aquaculture producers new tools to improve shrimp health and operational yields. These innovations could lead to more resilient harvest cycles and potentially improved cost-efficiency for large-scale operations.
The takeaway
Producers should monitor how these specific bioactive compounds impact their own shrimp survival rates compared to traditional feeding methods. Incorporating data-backed supplements can significantly refine growth performance during critical larval development phases.
