Shrimp seeds, also known as post-larvae, are the early life stages of shrimp that are used in aquaculture for farming purposes. These seeds are typically sourced from hatcheries and are bred to ensure high survival rates and growth potential. They are commonly produced from species such as Pacific white shrimp and black tiger shrimp, and are essential for establishing shrimp farms.

When selecting shrimp seeds, buyers should consider the species that best suits their farming environment and market demand. It's important to specify the desired size of the post-larvae, typically ranging from PL10 to PL20. Additionally, inquire about health certifications to ensure the seeds are disease-free and suitable for cultivation. Quantities may vary based on farm size and stocking density, so it's advisable to discuss specific needs with suppliers for optimal results.
