"¿Porqué es riesgosa la acuicultura convencional de camarones?
La mayor parte de las empresas camaroneras utilizan tecnologías y sistemas de producción similares a los desarrollados en Ecuador durante la década de 1970. El diseño está basado en el empleo de lagunas de gran amplitud y escasa profundidad, con un muy reducido intercambio del agua, de 8 a 12% diario, y sin aireación a los efectos de criar una sola camada de camarón que habita y se arrastra en el fondo de las lagunas. Como resultado de ello, el mayor volumen del agua permanece desocupado, y las condiciones ecológicas son inestables, afectando negativamente el desarrollo del camarón. La magnitud de la laguna y la falta de aireación y de agua suficiente dejan al responsable de producción sin los medios adecuados para controlar y regular las lagunas de producción, lo cual conlleva al deterioro del cultivo y a pérdidas financieras."

Tiene razón Henry que no vemos otros ejemplos de uso, pero creo que se trata de un neologismo, formado de la misma manera que apicultor o caficultor.

En el DRAE: cultor = cultivador.
