At Waterbase, we believe that curiosity is the desire for knowledge. Since [00/00/0000], Waterbase has been performing its own research to develop products and technologies in order to improve the performance and sustainability of shrimp farming, while meeting the increasing demand for quality shrimp feed. Our research laboratory innovates on both fresh and salt water species at varying temperatures. The company’s present R&D facility is considered to be a pioneering initiative among shrimp feed manufacturers in India.
Improved product performance
The economics of shrimp farming is considerably dependent on feed performance. Hence, a primary objective of our R&D is to improve our product through the effective use of feed.
Improved growth ratio and feed conversion ratio
Our product is evaluated on the basis of growth and feed conversion. Our innovation is thus cenered around the improvement of these two variables.
Recipe optimisation
We test the efficacy of new raw materials in an effort to mitigate the current high price of feed. The goal is to look beyond conventional practices and find better ways of meeting nutrition requirements that are necessary for high performance shrimp farming.
Sustainability
The use of sustainable raw material sources is a cornerstone for the development of aquaculture. We continuously find and source materials that implement sustainable practices which are in alignment with our core principles.

Being a core requirement of growth and survival, maintaining and improving shrimp health is a core priority of our research.
Our research on improving flesh structure, nutritional value, and taste has led to numerous ground breaking feed innovations
While shrimp health and harvest quality set the overall objectives, a number of different themes factor prominently in Waterbase’s R&D programs, each playing an important role in the development of the aquaculture business. Shrimp health is one of the keys to shrimp growth and survival, and is therefore an integral part of all R&D programs. Another very important theme in the R&D programs is harvest quality of shrimp in terms of flesh structure, taste, and nutritional value in human consumption. This has led to several ground-breaking feed techniques and technologies.
Waterbase is committed to continuously innovating feed development strategies, to better cater to different species’ nutritional needs in the different stages of life cycle. Special research programs focus on the development of feed for new species, while others evaluate the physical quality of feed in terms of size, shape, crumble, dust, water absorption, swelling/cracking rate, and sinking speed.
Innovation starts with collaboration, so please feel free to contact us and let us know how we can help you. We look forward to hearing from you and working with you.
