Things to consider for preparation;

• Coordinate with the DA and BFAR to secure aquaculture

list agreement and permit
• Design of pond
• Financial capability

Seed Selection of Shrimp

Keys to Shrimp Seed Selection:

• Avoid nurseries that are poorly manage.

• Select shrimp seed that is healthy.
• The color and size of a shrimp seed should be uniform

 Stocking

Early in the morning (0700–1000 H), late in the afternoon (0300–2100H)

Regular Monitoring of Freshwater Shrimp Farm

Check the water each day

between the hours of 6:00 and
7:00 and 4:00 and 5:00.
Regular Monitoring of Freshwater Shrimp Farm

Keep a record of all the parameters being monitored.

Harvesting Freshwater Shrimp
Things to consider in harvesting:
• Check the soft shell count of the stock two to three days
before harvest.
• Drain the grow-out pond two to three hours after high tide in
order to harvest.
• Harvested shrimp should be promptly placed in the chilling
tanks
• Sort, weigh, and pack the shrimp as soon as possible

Factors to consider in Freshwater Shrimp Production
Dissolve Oxygen

Dissolved oxygen for shrimp are equal or higher than 5 ppm.

Low dissolved oxygen can cause deaths in shrimp and fish.
 Temperature

It should be between 31 and 33 °C

 Salinity

High levels of salinity reduce the level of dissolved oxygen.

Saltiness of the water directly affects the health and growth of shrimp.
 Water Depth

Have an average water depth of 0.9 meters.

Minimum of 0.75 meters and a maximum of 1.2 meters.
 Water ph

Water with pH ranging from 7.5 to 9.0

Low pH levels will cause the shell of shrimp to become soft.
