In a groundbreaking advancement, Luminis Water Technologies, a trailblazing microbiome profiling company, has successfully optimised water and shrimp gut microbiomes, yielding a remarkable 56% growth enhancement and a significant 30% reduction in pathogen levels. This milestone promises to revolutionise sustainable aquaculture practices and signifies a crucial step towards reducing antibiotics in aquaculture.
Through state-of-the-art technology and meticulous microbiome analysis, Luminis Water Technologies identified and tailored microbial communities vital for maintaining a healthy environment in both water and shrimp gut. By utilising this profound understanding, they developed a formula for their Next Gen-guided Precision Probiotics, resulting in unprecedented growth improvements while effectively reducing pathogen loads.
Rachelle Jensen, CEO of Luminis, expressed excitement about this breakthrough, stating, “Today marks a pivotal moment in aquaculture innovation. Our team’s dedication and expertise have enabled us to revolutionise microbiome optimisation, unlocking remarkable growth potential and ensuring safer, healthier practices for combating pathogen outbreaks.”
The optimisation process involved a comprehensive approach, integrating precision microbiome engineering techniques with Luminis’ Next Gen Precision Probiotics. By modulating the microbiome in both water and shrimp gut, Luminis achieved an optimal balance that facilitated enhanced nutrient uptake, improved digestive efficiency, and a strengthened immune system in the shrimp population.
Furthermore, the reduction in pathogen levels represents a significant advancement towards sustainable and eco-friendly aquaculture practices. Luminis’ innovative techniques not only promoted robust shrimp growth but also mitigated the risks associated with pathogenic threats, thereby ensuring a safer and more resilient shrimp farming ecosystem.
This breakthrough has far-reaching implications beyond the aquaculture industry, offering a promising platform for addressing broader environmental and agricultural challenges. Luminis’ pioneering work underscores the pivotal role of microbiome optimisation in revolutionising agricultural practices and fostering more resilient and productive ecosystems – thus delivering sustainability to the industry.
The complete system is now available for shrimp farming in RAS or closed systems, with ongoing validation for tilapia and shrimp ponds. For more information, visit Luminis Water Technologies.
