Shrimp Farm Startup Guide

Start with a farm map, water source analysis, soil condition and drainage path before investing in stocking. A good farm plan reduces disease risk and improves feeding efficiency.

Choose SPF/SPR seed from a reliable hatchery, acclimatize slowly and keep stocking density realistic for your aeration and water exchange capacity.

Maintain daily logs for pH, salinity, dissolved oxygen, temperature, feed intake, mortality and weather changes. These logs become your decision system.

Plan harvest before stocking. Confirm buyers, ice, labour, transport and weighing records so you can protect quality and margins.
