preferred.
• Seed purchased from “VAISHAKHI
Biomarine Pvt. Ltd.” located at Chennai.

increment.
•  30 – 45 DOC: - 30gm/day increment
BOAT FEEDING
 CHECK TRAY FEEDING
•Why it is?
To analyze Feed consumption, survival, health
status of shrimp and to control feeding rate.
• 10 % feed of total feed.
• After 2 hrs check tray is observed and on the
basis of this feeding management is done.
 Water quality management

Water quality is important as it direct affect

the shrimp health and growth. So water quality
should be maintain at its optimum.

• Salinity: - 18-25 ppt.

• pH: - 7.5 to 8.5
• Alkalinity: - 100-200 ppm
• DO2: - 10 ppm
 PROBIOTICS

•Why it is?
It helps to overcome stress & provide high
survival rate & enhance uniform growth of
shrimp.
These 2 Probiotics were used at Samapore.
•SUPER BIOTIC (Zymatin and Mutazene)
•SUPER-PS
 Sampling

• Why it is?
Do it at regular interval to
Predict health status
Growth rate
Survival rate
Calculate ABW and FCR for better
feeding management
• Here sampling was done every week after
45 days of stocking.
• Sampling was done by cast net.
• They take sample from each pond and
sent in CP lab for testing.
 AERATION
•It is used to maintain DO2.
• Pushing area should be bigger than the
pulling area for better aeration.
• Three different types aerators were used.
Aerators are run 2 hrs during day time and 6 hrs
during night.

SPIRAL AERATOR
LONG ARM AERATOR
 HARVESTING
When shrimp attain 30-35 gm weight,
harvesting is done using bag net.
Harvested shrimp are mixed with ice(1:1).
Harvest in early morning and in pre molt
stage.
 MARKETING
Buyers are from Bombay
