shrimp production techniques

Shrimp production involves raising shrimp in controlled environments called farms or ponds. Farmers typically create suitable conditions by managing water quality, temperature, and oxygen levels. There are two main methods: extensive systems, which rely on natural food and large ponds, and intensive systems, which use smaller, engineered tanks with controlled feeding, aeration, and wastewater management. Shrimp are stocked at specific densities, fed carefully, and monitored regularly to prevent disease and ensure healthy growth. The goal is to optimize growth rates while maintaining environmental and animal health, resulting in a sustainable supply of shrimp for market.
