Estudio de factibilidad del cultivo híper-intensivo de camarón mediante sistema de biofloc en la provincia de El Oro.

Abstract

In the face of the apparent dichotomy between food security, due to the needs of the world population, and the ecological crisis due to the scarcity of resources and environmental damage, it seems advisable to investigate projects that, with fewer resources, will increase the production volume available. This feasibility study seeks to implement hyper-intensive shrimp cultivation using a technology, the biofloc system, based on biotechnology for disease control, water and soil treatment, which takes advantage of the accumulation of waste and that aims to increase production without affecting the environment, or in a sustainable way, in a productive zone of shrimp, the province of El Oro. To achieve this, the study and project context was first formalized; the data were then compiled which, with their analysis, allow to determine the technical-prospective feasibility and, in the end, it is possible to demonstrate, in a compared analysis against the conventional method, that the project is profitable and that it forges a positive impact both for the locality as for the results of the implementation, because it manages to do more with less in an ecosystem-friendly environment. It was determined that the initial investment will be recovered between the second and third years, with an IRR of 36.69% and a NPV of $ 818.416,60
