The Indonesian
shrimp production is already advanced right now, since they do not only
catch it from the sea but also farm shrimp in freshwater. Indonesia has warm climate,
thus it is suitable place to do shrimp farming in this country. Furthermore
this business is very profitable as shrimp demand keeps increasing every year. Actually
shrimp farming has begun since the seventies era in the US as well as European
country then spread to Asian country like in Indonesia. However, as Indonesia
has warmer climate, then the shrimp product in this country grows rapidly as
the quality that they have also very high. That is why main production for
farmed shrimp in the world is located in Asian country.
The best Indonesian shrimp production
method
The Indonesian shrimp production has grown rapidly and continues to transform to be
better. It used to be done in small scale farming, but now you can see that the shrimp farming is done in more professional way. However, until now the shrimp species
that is farmed all around the world is only limited. And in Asian country such
as Indonesia, the Macrobrachium rosenbergii is one of the most popular species
that they farm. This shrimp is actually native in south Asian countries thus it
is very suitable to be farmed in Indonesia. But, there are still many other species
of shrimps, which are farmed in the country.
The Indonesian
shrimp production is started from the juvenile stage then growing it
into adult shrimp until it can be sold for some profit. That is why the
successfulness of the production is very depended on the quality of the pond in
which the shrimp will be growing inside. However, a pond that only recently
being dug, might not be a good place for the shrimp to grow. The reason is
because the food supply available inside the pond is too little so it is not
enough for the shrimp.
The shrimp inside the pond will usually eat
algae as well as other insect larva. However, during the first year since the
pond is dug, there are no supplies of those things which become the shrimp food.
So during the early stage of the shrimp growth, it is better to store the
juvenile inside other place so you can grow it inside the growing pond in the
later stage.
To start the Indonesian shrimp production, usually the juvenile is taken from other hatchery
place as the farmer does not have any. But since there are many hatchery that
sold shrimp juvenile then it is actually quite easy to get the early stage of
shrimp in Indonesia.
Making the pond as a place to grow the
shrimp is very easy since the farmer only need to dig in the same way as
catfish pond. However, sometimes the shrimp can also be farm using swimming
pool, big water tank, as well as large size fish tank. But the natural pond
usually produces the best result especially for commercial production. The pond
itself should have great water flow as it is important aspect for shrimp to
grow in fresh water. Furthermore the oxygen supply should also be enough for
the shrimp to survive. Not forgetting the soil condition which should be
perfect so it can retain the water content inside.
The water content used in the Indonesian shrimp production, should also in
excellent quality that is acceptable for the shrimp to grow. The water is
usually taken from river, stream, and even reservoir. The quality of the water
also inspected first before usage to ensure that it is suitable to be used by
the shrimp to grow.
Actually the shrimp would be able to find
their own food in the pond as they grow larger. So it does not need to be feed
with anything. Nevertheless to make the shrimp grow bigger sometimes the farmer
will give the same feeder that is also used on catfish feeder since the
nutrient that they need is similar even though the quantity is different. After
the shrimp gain enough weight, then it can be harvest.
Those are several things that happen on Indonesian shrimp production which they
use to create their product in high quality. As it has high quality, you might
also want to get this product by yourself.
