1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Project Brief

Shrimp farming, the production of marine shrimp in impoundments, ponds and


tanks, got rolling in the early 1970s, and, today, over fifty countries export farmed
shrimp. In Ecuador, the leading producer in the Western Hemisphere, export revenue
range from $500 to $800 million a year; in Thailand, the leader in the Eastern
Hemisphere, they have passed the billion-dollar mark. In addition, India, Indonesia,
China, Malaysia, Taiwan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka all produce huge amounts of
farmed shrimp. The Philippines, Vietnam and Myanmar (Burma) have shrimp farms,
and there are shrimp farms throughout Central and South America. Honduras,
Panama and Mexico have big industries, while smaller industries exist in Colombia,
Venezuela, Nicaragua, Peru, Belize and Brazil. The shrimp importing nations, the
United States, Western Europe and Japan-specialize in high-tech "intensive" shrimp
farming, but, thus far, their production has been insignificant.
Shrimp export has a major share of the total seafood export of Pakistan. It is almost
60% of the total fisheries export of the country. The annual catch of the captured
shrimp has been constant and we have reached the sustainable limit of shrimping. In
order to increase the shrimp exports we have to go into shrimp farming.
Farmed/cultured shrimp in Pakistan is non-existent in Pakistan. Our neighbours,
India, Bangladesh, Thailand and Iran are active in this area. Farmed shrimp has a
major constitution in the seafood exports of these countries. Farmed shrimp
contributes more then US $ 1,100 million in the exports of Thailand. Composition
data showing shrimp production and its percentage share of the total exports of
selected countries is shown below.

1.2 Opportunity Rationale


The shrimp consumption has increased throughout the world in the recent times and
our marine resources are depleting or have remained stagnant due to various
environmental factors, which mean that we are losing a greater portion of the
market. The local processors have to meet the international orders, which currently
they lack due to non-availability of the required species and also due to the
unexpected landings.
Thus if there is a consistent supply of the shrimp species then all of the local
processors can commit to their buyers and in result the cultured shrimp will have a
definite market for it. The controlling factor in shrimp export is the shrimp
production and not the markets. Exporters of shrimps are confident that the exports
can be enhanced if the production can be increased. Thus, for the shrimp farming we
can say that there is a ready market.

Process Flow Chart

1.4 Basic Systems of Shrimp Farming


There are two basic systems of shrimp farming:
 Open cycle system
 Closed cycle system
The difference between the two is that, in open system the broodstock is in the form
of wild caught shrimp while a closed cycle system operates entirely on captive stock
and not on broodstock captured from the wild.

2 INDUSTRY STRUCTURE
The inputs required for the farming include the shrimp seed, feed and various
chemicals. Since the shrimp farming in Pakistan has not started yet therefore we
should emphasize initially on import of all these inputs. However once this industry
takes a start then the local production of these inputs might be possible.

5 SPECIES TO BE CULTURED
The various types of captured shrimp species in Pakistan are as follows:
1. Penaeusspp (Jhaira)
2. Metapenaeus spp. (Kalri)
3. Parapenalopsis styliferia (Kiddi)
4. Tiger Shrimp
The above figure shows that the major specie target is Giant Tiger Shrimp as it
fetches good price and the growing period is less as compared to other species.
Named for its huge size and banded tail, this species dominates production
everywhere in Asia except Japan and China. Native to the Indian Ocean and the
southwestern Pacific Ocean from Japan to Australia, "tigers" are the largest
(maximum length 363 millimeters) and fastest growing of the farmed shrimp. They
tolerate a wide range of salinities, but shortages of wild broodstock often exist,
captive breeding is difficult and hatchery survivals are low (20 to 30%). Tigers are
very susceptible to two of the most lethal shrimp viruses: yellow head and white
spot. Consumers in Japan and the United States purchase huge quantities of tigers
from Thailand and other countries in Southeast Asia.

6 SHRIMP FARMING OPERATIONS

6.1 Hatchery Operations


The purpose of a hatchery is to provide the feedstock or the postlarvae (PL) to
growout ponds for farming. The farmers catch the wild broodstocks from the sea and
use water at normal temperature to produce post larvae with proper usage of drugs
for preventive purpose. Currently all broodstock used for hatchery seed production
7

PREF-22/July, 2001/Rev1
Pre-Feasibility Study Shrimp Farming

comes from wild spawners or gravid females and the countries that extensively or
predominantly depend on hatchery seed supply are Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines,
Taiwan and China.

6.2 Nursery Operations


The nursery phase of shrimp farming, when postlarvae are cultured at high densities
in small earthen ponds (and occasionally in intensive raceways or tanks, or in net
enclosures within the shrimp ponds), occurs between the hatchery and growout
phases. It has some characteristics of the hatchery phase, but more closely resembles
growout. Since hatchery-produced and wild-caught postlarvae can be stocked
directly into grow-out ponds, the nursery phase is not always necessary.

6.3 Acclimation Tanks


The 55 farms that don't have their own hatcheries, acclimation tanks and raceways
frequently replace nursery ponds. Acclimation facilities give the juvenile shrimp a
chance to adjust to pond conditions, particularly salinity and temperature, before
being stocked. The holding period lasts from a half day to four days, and the animals
may be fed special diets to prepare them for the rigors of pond life. The most
important consideration during acclimation is that the water quality parameters be
changed slowly. Acclimation densities should not exceed 300-500 postlarvae per
liter, depending on animal size and duration of acclimation.

6.4 Growout Pond Operations

Once a growout operation is stocked with postlarval shrimp, it takes from three to
six months to produce a crop of market-sized shrimp. Northern China, the United
States and Northern Mexico produce one crop per year; semi-tropical countries
produce two crops per year, while farms closer to the equator have produced three
crops a year, but rarely. Temperature has a lot to do with it. Shrimp like it hot, and
most species prefer, but are not restricted to, brackish water.

PREF-22/July, 2001/Rev1
Pre-Feasibility Study Shrimp Farming

Growout operations come in all shapes and sizes. They are classified by stocking
densities (the number of seed stock per hector) and called "extensive" (low stocking
density), "semi-intensive" (medium stocking density) and "intensive" (high stocking
density). As densities increase, the farms get smaller, the technology gets more
sophisticated, capital costs go up and production per unit of space increases
dramatically.
Table 7-1: Stocking Density of Growout Ponds
Type Output
kg/hector/yr.
Extensive 50-500
Semi-Intensive 500-5,000
Intensive 5,000-20,000
Super-Intensive 20,000-100,000

6.5 Types of Growout Farming


Shrimp growout farming operations can be classified into four types. This
classification is based on the stocking density of shrimps in the ponds. The four
types are as follows:

7.5.1 Extensive
Extensive shrimp farming (low-density) is conducted in the tropics, in low-lying
impoundments along bays and tidal rivers, often in conjunction with herbivorous
fish. Impoundments range in size from a few hectares to over a hundred hectares.
When local waters are known to have high densities of young shrimp, the farmer
opens the gates, impounds the wild shrimp and then grows them to market size.
Fishermen also capture wild postlarvae and sell them to extensive farmers for
stocking. Overall, however, stocking densities are quite low, not over 25,000
postlarvae per hectare. The tides provide a water exchange rate of from 0% to 5%
per day. Shrimp feed on naturally occurring organisms, which may be encouraged
with organic or chemical fertilizer. Construction and operating costs are low and so
are yields. Cast-nets and bamboo traps produce harvests of 50 to 500 kilograms
(head-on) per hectare per year. Production costs range from $1.00 to $3.00 (RS. 64
to RS. 192) per kilogram of live shrimp. Extensive farms have little effect on the
environment. Since it is illegal in most countries to use tidal or mangrove areas for
the construction of shrimp farms, almost no new extensive shrimp farms are being
constructed today.

PREF-22/July, 2001/Rev1
Pre-Feasibility Study Shrimp Farming

Figure 7-1: Extensive Farming

7.5.2 Semi-Intensive
Conducted above the high tide line, semi-intensive farming introduces carefully laid
out ponds (2 to 30 hectares), feeding and pumping. Pumps exchange from 0% to
25% of the water each day. With stocking rates ranging from 100,000 to 300,000,
postlarvae per hector, there is more competition for the natural food in the pond, so
farmers augment production with shrimp feeds. Construction costs range from
$10,000 to $35,000 (RS. 610,000 to RS. 2,135,000) per hector. Wild or hatchery-
produced postlarvae are stocked in growout ponds, which are fertilized (nitrogen,
phosphorus and silicate) to encourage a natural food chain. The farmer harvests by
draining the pond through a net, or by using a harvest pump. Yields range from 500
to 5,000 kilograms (head-on) per hector per year, with 2,000 kilograms per hector
per year, much sought after goal. Production costs range from $2.00 to $6.00 (RS.
122 to RS. 366) per kilogram of live shrimp. Farmers usually renovate their ponds
once a year. If too many semi-intensive farms concentrate in a small area, they can
have a negative effect on the environment.
Figure 7-2: Semi-Intensive Farming

10

PREF-22/July, 2001/Rev1
Pre-Feasibility Study Shrimp Farming

7.5.3 Intensive
Intensive shrimp farming introduces small enclosures (0.1 to 1.5 hectares), high
stocking densities (more than 300,000 postlarvae per hectare), around-the-clock
management, heavy feeding, waste removal and aeration. Aeration-the addition of
air, or oxygen, to the water-permits much higher stocking and feeding level. The
water exchange rate can be high, 30% per day and up. Frequently conducted in small
ponds, intensive farming is also practiced in raceways and tanks, which may be
covered or indoor. Construction costs range from $25,000 to $250,000 per hectare.
Sophisticated harvesting techniques and easy pond clean up after harvest permit
year-round production in tropical climates. Yields of 5,000 to 20,000 kilograms
(head-on) per hectare per year are common. Production costs range from $4.00 to
$8.00 per kilogram of live shrimp. It's relatively easy to convert intensive farms to
other species. Intensive farms frequently cause environmental problems.
Figure 7-3: Intensive Farming

7.5.4 Super-intensive
"Super-intensive" shrimp farming takes even greater control of the environment and
can produce yields of 20,000 to 100,000 kilograms per hectare per year. Thailand
has some super-intensive shrimp farms. A super-intensive farm in the United States
once produced at the rate of 100,000 kilograms (whole shrimp) per hectare per year,
but a viral disease wiped it out. Thus far, super-intensive shrimp farms have
achieved only marginal success. Generally, they have problems with management,
diseases, crop failures, water quality, finances and the environment. Production
levels above 10,000 kilograms per hectare per year are risky.
