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.

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.

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.

Shrimp Culture News of The Month 08

Indonesia - Awaken the Fanaticism to Windu Shrimp
Trobos, 1 Agustus 2010

The spirit and love of Endi Muchtarudin to windu shrimp (windu) or Penaeus Monodon should be appreciated. Although today many farmers are shifting to raise vannamei shrimp (vannamei), the experienced windu farmer from Karawang remains with his farming.

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.

Monitoring of Pond Water Outlet Channels

Viewed from its construction, the ponds has two types of water channels, namely: (1) water inlet channels and water outlet channels that are generally made of paralon materials. In this discussion will not be clear about the functions of both these water channels, but more focused on how to use pond water outlet to monitor the condition of pond bottom and shrimp conditions practically.

Flushing Harvest on Shrimp Farming

At earlier discussion explained in a word that flushing harvest is a harvesting activity that conducted by throw away shrimp population in a pond passes outlet channel through totally water throwing away process.

Shrimp Harvesting

Shrimp harvesting is a final phase from one period cycle of shrimp culture, because with implemented shrimp harvest in a pond so there is no shrimp culture process again in the period. Simply, shrimp harvesting can be meant as shrimp harvest process in a pond as cultivation process result in one period.

Shrimp Plasticity Level

Shrimp plasticity as one of an indicator of shrimp condition is a factor that very determine to shrimp culture process successfully mainly for shrimp quality that be produced, so that indirectly influential towards its sell price.

Season Influence Towards Shrimp Culture Process

Season factors have real influence towards shrimp culture process especially related to pond water quality management, condition and quality of shrimps. As tropical country, Indonesia has two seasons that is dry season and rain season which each has different characteristics towards shrimp culture process.

Shrimp Uniformity and Its Alternatives Management

At discussion before have explained the basic understanding related to shrimp uniformity level. As have explained, the shrimps population within pond mainly can be grouped on 3 (three), there are: (i) uniform shrimp, (ii) medium shrimp uniformity level, and (iii) serious shrimp uniformity level.

Shrimp Uniformity Level

Shrimp size on a population at pond is very affected on to technically shrimp culture management process especially at feeding management to be applied. At the age of shrimps come near to normally harvest, shrimp size is very affected on to its price or equally shrimp size have an important value on determining the financial profit level to be obtained.

Shrimp Culture Management at First Month Phase 05 – The Problems of Condition/Quality of Small Shrimp

At discussion before there have been explained the problems which related to problems of pond water environment. At discussion this time will be explained the problems of shrimp culture at first month phase which related to condition/quality of small shrimps.
