Beware to Cannibalism among Shrimps

Viewed from the aspects of biology, shrimps have its own characteristics compared to other biota. Some of the unique natures of shrimps have been described in earlier discussion (as being nocturnal animals, and as negative phototaxis animal). One of the other characteristics of the shrimps is the nature of cannibalism among the shrimps.

In Response to Shrimp Production Obstacles

According to the data issued by the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fishery (CTF), the performance of national shrimp rose by 2.6% from 338,060 tons in 2009 to 352,600 tons in 2010.

Shrimps are Negative Phototaxis Animal

In the previous discussion has been discussed about the shrimps as nocturnal animal (active at night). The discussion is closely related to the negative phototaxis nature owned by the shrimps. Negative phototaxis can be defined briefly as the orientation and movement of an organism away from the source of a light stimulus.

Shrimps are Nocturnal Animal

In previous discussions have described in brief, that the shrimps has a nocturnal nature. In simply, nocturnal animals are animals that are mainly active during the night. As nocturnal animals, of course, shrimps are more active to carry out their life activity at night than during the day.

Shrimp Diseases and Phenomenon of Shrimp Culture Successfully

As an organism, shrimp can not be separated from threat of diseases in the carry out life processes ranging from mild to serious stadiums. Shrimp disease is a very serious problem for the shrimp farming to the present, because it can cause substantial financial losses.

The Phenomenon of Shrimp in the Muddy Water

For the shrimp cultivation technicians, shrimp in the muddy water is a phenomenon that is often encountered in shrimp cultivation cycle. The phenomenon is more prevalent at the time of post-harvest of shrimps (both of normally harvest and troubled harvest).

Molting Shrimps and Cultivation Technical Treatments

In the previous discussion has mentioned that under conditions of molting, shrimps are highly susceptible to disease infection and attacks from other shrimps (cannibalism) and predators. As a natural process, then during molting (naturally and individually molting), diseases infection, cannibalism and predators are an event that can not be avoided.

Indonesia-Shrimp Production is Stagnant

Trobos, 1 February 2011

The Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (KKP) released its data regarding national shrimp production increase at 2.6% from 338,060 tons in 2009 to 352,600 tons in 2010. Unfortunately, such shrimp production increase was not sufficient so that it could not meet production target of 2010 previously defined at 400,300 tons.

Practical Indicators to Determine Molting Process of Shrimp In Ponds

As mentioned in earlier discussion (see here), that molting process is biological characteristics of shrimp that can be used as one basis for decision making related to the treatments of cultivation technical to be applied. The basic understanding in it application must be supported by practical indicators knowledge of molting shrimp in ponds

Shrimp Molting Process

Molting in shrimp is a phenomenon that always occurs in the process of shrimp culture, so the basic knowledge related to the process of shrimp molting is need to be known by the perpetrators of this farming. Molting process is a biological characteristics of shrimp that can be used as one basis for decision making related to the treatments of cultivation technical to be applied

Seen, Touched and Viewed under A Light

For most Indonesia people the title of this posting is probably a familiar phrase. The title of this posting was inspired by a public service ad that often appears on television about how to distinguish between real money with fake money.

The Rainy Season, Do not be Lazy to Feed for Shrimps

During the rainy season, the feeding programs (mainly related to the daily feeding) is usually disrupted both the feeding frequency and the level of prevalence of feed distribution in the pond. This condition is more influenced by human resource factor, mainly who is responsible for providing feed on shrimps.

Monitor the Water Source of Shrimp Pond

In the previous discussion has described that water source of shrimp pond which is used mainly from sea water and river water. A condition and quality of water source will determine the condition and quality of pond water at a moment. Based on this matter, the pond water quality management activities should include monitoring the water source of shrimp pond as a basis for a decision making related to the technical treatment will be applied.

As described in previous discussions, the shrimp farming as technically is closely related to water quality management. In this discussion, the dominant factor of water quality is the transparency of a pond waters.

Video 6 - Is This Shrimp Pond or Aquarium?

In order to add knowledge related to shrimp farming, hence this blog will try to present a video related to shrimp / prawn farming. Enjoy with it.

Do Not Make A Wrong Decision on the Third Months Phase

In previous discussions have made clear that a shrimp farming is a financial profit oriented business. A sufficient knowledge about the cultivation technical will be deemed to fail if its implementation can not provide financial benefits.

The Layout of Waterwheels on Shrimp Pond

In addition to the basic understanding related to roles and functions of the waterwheel on the shrimp pond, one other aspect that is most important is related to the layout of the waterwheels on the pond.

The Roles and Functions of the Waterwheel on Shrimp Culture

Shrimp pond as an artificial aquatic and closed ecosystem is in dire need of cultivation technical treatment which can stimulate the processes of physics, chemistry and biology to the waters ecosystem balance condition.

Recognize To Pond Waters Through Ecosystem Approach 02 – The Components and Its Interactions

Based on the formation processes, an ecosystem in general can be grouped into two types namely: (i) natural ecosystems, and (ii) artificial ecosystems. Based on this, then a shrimp pond waters can be categorized as an artificial ecosystem which is expected to provide "security and comfort" for shrimps during the cultivation process conducted.
