SHRIMP FARMING

Managing the farming aspect involves overseeing the entire aquaculture process, from shrimp breeding to harvesting. Effective farm management is essential to ensure healthy stock, consistent production, and sustainability.

. Location Selection: Choose a site with ideal environmental conditions for shrimp farming, including clean water, proper salinity, and a suitable temperature range. These factors are crucial for supporting shrimp health and maximising productivity.

. Breeding & Health Monitoring: Ensure proper breeding cycles and actively monitor shrimp health throught their lifecycle.

. Water Quality Management: Shrimp are highly sensitive to changes in water quality, so it’s vital to regularly test and control factors like salinity, oxygen levels, temperature, and waste disposal. Consistent monitoring helps maintain a stable environment and promote healthy shrimp growth.

. Feeding & Nutrition: Effective feeding management is critical for shrimp growth. Shrimp require a balanced, species-specific diet that includes protein, fasts, and vitamins. Proper feeding management helps avoid overfeeding, which can pollute water, and underfeeding, which can stunt growth.

. Harvesting & Processing: Efficiently managing the harvesting process is key to maintaining shrimp quality. This involves:

. Timely Harvesting: Ensure shrimp harvested at the right time to avoid overcrowding and stress.

. Quick Processing: Prompt processing helps maintain freshness and product quality.
