Shrimp farming is the cultivation of shrimp in controlled environments for commercial purposes. This aquaculture practice involves breeding, raising, and harvesting shrimp in ponds, tanks, or other systems designed to optimize growth and health. Shrimp farming is typically conducted in coastal areas, where brackish water is abundant, and it can also be done in inland facilities using recirculating aquaculture systems.
| Common species | Litopenaeus vannamei and Penaeus monodon |
| Water salinity | 5 to 35 ppt |
| Pond size | 0.1 to 10 hectares |
| Stocking density | 20 to 100 shrimp per square meter |
| Harvest cycle | 3 to 6 months |
When choosing shrimp farming systems, consider the species you wish to cultivate, as different species have varying requirements for water quality and temperature. Specify the desired pond or tank size, stocking density, and whether you require a system for biosecurity or disease management. Additionally, inquire about feed types and water treatment solutions, as these can significantly impact shrimp growth and health.
