Polychaetes, or marine worms, are an essential part of shrimp farming, particularly as a key dietary component for broodstock. When fed live, polychaetes such as palolo worms, lugworms, and sand worms naturally enhance broodstock maturation, leading to increased offspring production and healthier shrimp populations. However, careful consideration of where and how these polychaetes are sourced can further strengthen shrimp farming practices — in particular biosecurity — ensuring long-term success and sustainability.
