Know The Condition of Shrimp

As noted in previous discussions one of the characteristics of shrimp aquaculture is the nature of the sensitivity of shrimp. When compared with their natural environment then in the pond which is an artificial habitat, shrimp is very sensitive to changes in the environment either due to natural factors (the changing seasons, weather, water), as well as technical treatment factor within a ponds.

Shrimp Fry Quality Criterias

Knowledge about the quality of shrimp fry in the cultivation of shrimp is one very important aspect to note for the cultivation of these actors and practitioners' of ponds. After all, fry a "forerunner" of the adult shrimp thus indirectly also affect the profile of shrimp that will be produced both in quality and quantity at the time of the harvesting through the cultivation process.

Shrimp Sampling 04 - Sampling Using Nets

This sampling activity is usually done for relatively large-sized shrimp (2.5 grams) was thus caught in a used mesh. Besides being used for the regular sampling, the nets also used for incidental sampling.

Shrimp Sampling 03 - Sampling Using Ancho

Ancho understanding has been described in the foregoing discussion is a tool used to control the feeding programs, growth and quality of shrimp on a daily / incidental. Ancho is usually a square the size of 1 mx 1m with a framework of wood / iron, and its center is associated with streameen (a kind of netting made of nylon) that are given weight / ballast in order to reach the bottom of ponds.

Shrimp Sampling 02 - Materials / Equipment and Stages of Shrimp Sampling

As described in the foregoing discussion that outlined the shrimp sampling activities can be divided into (1) Sampling of fries, (2) Sampling using ancho and (3) sampling using nets. Before discussing about the materials / equipment and sampling stages, there are some basic ideas that need to be considered before doing the sampling, ie:

Shrimp Sampling 01 - Background, Objectives and Types of Samplings

Shrimp sampling is an activity that is absolutely necessary in an activity on the shrimp farming. As noted in earlier discussion, that one of the characteristics of shrimp farming is 'unvisible object', which means that any behavior, condition and growth of shrimps in ponds can not be observed directly because it was blocked by the waters of the habitat. Based on the characteristics, one of the alternative activities that can be carried out to estimate the profile of shrimp in the pond is through sampling activities.
