Located in the San Pablo commune of the Santa Elena canton, Santa Elena province, Ecuador, since 1999 we are
dedicated to the production of nauplii and larvae of shrimp Litopenaeusvannamei. In 2003, Texcumar S.A. It was
acquired by Ing. Rafael Verduga who through a restructuring process and the support of a high quality technical
and administrative team have made Texcumar the main maturation and larviculture of Ecuador with great popularity
in the shrimp market.
In August of 2005 we incorporated our second unit of production of nauplii in the Monteverde commune and in
2017 our third production unit opened its doors in the Punta Blanca sector, San Pablo commune, this expansion
process aims to better serve Ecuadorian market demand.
Texcumar has the largest installed capacity for production of nauplii and larvae in Ecuador,
300 million nauplii per day in three maturation facilities and 720 million larvae per month
in its larviculture laboratory. This allows it to produce with the strictest processes of
mass selection in a closed cycle, a process in charge of the Genetic Improvement Program
of the company directed by the PhD. Joao Rocha, which includes shrimp groups of great importance
in the country. The Texcumar Genetic Improvement Program is based on parameters of reproduction,
growth, survival and disease resistance that includes individual analysis for IHH
