Shrimp Feeding Frequency

Shrimp feeding frequency is one part of a feeding program that has a strategic role in determining the success of a feeding program at a cultivation period. Feeding frequency can be interpreted as the number of times a given feeding activities in one day.

Shrimp Feeding Program

Basically, a feeding program is a method of shrimp feeding at a single cycle of cultivation. This program also determines a success level of a shrimp culture system as a whole, especially its association with a level of production costs which have been released, so that in arranging is need precision and accuracy in determining the level of shrimp demand to feed.

Natural Feed for Shrimp - 02

One fundamental thing to note is natural feed in ponds is a feed source of main choice for shrimp during its availability is still insufficient for the population of shrimp in a pond. Conditions like this can be interpreted as follows: if the shrimp facing a choice between artificial feed with natural feed, then that will be chosen first is a natural feed in the waters.

Natural Feed for Shrimp - 01

Provision of natural feed for shrimp is mostly done on a traditional shrimp culture pattern with a characteristic low-density and use of cultivation technology was minimal. Feeding program on the cultivation of this pattern is more depend and rely on natural feed availability in the pond, while use of artificial feed limited on their own made feed with frequency of feeding is very limited.

Determination of Shrimp Feed

In the foregoing discussion has explained that based on the type of feed, shrimp are omnivores that is a biota which consume all types of food on the waters especially those living at water bottom (demersal). In the natural habitat, feed types that consumed by shrimp are very varied ranging from detritus, plants and small aquatic animals until carcasses of other biota.

Shrimp Feces as Indicator of Shrimp Condition

Shrimp feces is one of parameters that can be used as an indicator of shrimp condition especially related to appetite and health conditions of the shrimps. Shrimp feces observation can conducted when we checking ancho (lift net) along with controlling feeding program (to determine shrimp consumption level against the feed).

Shrimp Feeding Management Program – Rationale

Knowledge and understanding of feeding habit and food habit and shrimp digestive organ is an absolute factor to control in preparing feeding program that will be applied in the shrimp farming activities in order to create efficiency and an effectiveness of feed that can produce shrimp with favorable conditions and quality in terms of production.

Shrimp Feeding Management Program – Background

Shrimp as a living creature, in its life need food as a source of energy and nutrients needed to conduct its activities that include growth and reproduction what its did. In its natural habitat there is an open water, a necessary food source of shrimp have been available by itself on the conditions related to existing patterns of food chain in these waters.

The Methods of Pond Water Quality Management - Concept

Basically, pond water quality management is an activity program to make pond water to balanced water ecosystem within limit environment in order to create a water condition that like shrimps natural habitat (viewed from characteristic, behavior and ecology of shrimps). Program implementation of pond water quality is need an advanced technical capability of human resources through method that appropriate with shrimps condition.

PR 4 from Google

When I check Page Rank (PR) bar of this blog (marindro’s blog), I found that Google has updated their Page Rank again. I saw that Page Rank of this blog went from a PR 3 to a PR 4. Nice!.

Pond Water Transparency - 1

Pond water transparency is one of water quality parameters that related with water turbidity level. On simplified meaning, pond water transparency is sun's rays penetration level within water and it expressed on length unit. A simple tool to measure pond water transparency is seichi disk, that is a disk which be given black and white color and be connected with a stick or handle rope which have scale lines.
