The super-intensive white shrimp system is more productive (t ha−1) than traditional systems. However, it implies greater investment in infrastructure and machinery, a continuous supply of electricity, and a specialized workforce. Therefore, the sustainability of a shrimp farm model operating in a super-intensive system in Nayarit (Mexico) was evaluated using financial analysis and life cycle assessment. The investment is important, but the fixed costs (16%) are much lower than variable costs (84%). The super-intensive farm is economically viable, with an overall profitability (29%) that is higher than that of other agri-food activities in Mexico. It is also an activity that generates a lot of employment, in relative terms, as well as economic movement in the area. The potential environmental impacts are higher than those registered in semi-intensive shrimp systems but slightly lower than those registered in intensive systems. The estimated global warming value per kg of shrimp is 5.08 kg CO2-eq, an intermediate value. Also, as the shrimp production is much higher than in traditional systems, it could have a great and positive impact on the maintenance and regeneration of the mangrove ecosystem.

Fourteen specimens of the hepatopancreas of the Pacific white shrimp, Penaeus vannamei, were prepared for examination with the transmission and scanning electron microscopes and with the light microscope. The histology and ultrastructure of this organ is similar to that seen in other Decapoda. At the ultrastructural level, it was observed that B-cells rupture at approximately the level of gap junctions located on the lateral plasma membranes of the cells, and discharge the contents of their large vacuoles into the intercellular space. This efflux of enzymatic material may be the mechanism by which cells are released from the wall of the tubule at the proximal end: the rupture and collapse of a B-cell may be analagous to the removal of the keystone which supports an arch. Deprived of support, and lacking structural adaptations for cohesion (there are no desmosomes or interdigitations in the epithelium) and with the intercellular material digested, the remaining intact cells collapse into the lumen of the tubule. The lysis of individual cells of all types - R-, F-, and B-cells - may contribute to the tubules’ total complement of digestive enzymes.
