What is the role of shrimp farming shed which is one of the most profitable business worldwide and an aquaculture industry? The main purpose of this job, which is done in the sea (saltwater shrimp) or fresh water (shrimp breeding pond); It is available in the market and provides food for the households.
The shrimp breeding tank is one of the environments that helps the growth and multiplication of shrimps as healthy as possible. Because the popularity of building freshwater shrimp sheds is increasing significantly
Authorizations required to build shrimp niches
To establish a shrimp farm, you must first obtain the necessary permits from the Jihad Agriculture Organization and the Fisheries Department. To build a shrimp breeding shed, it is necessary to issue a permit from the engineering system organization.
You must choose an excellent place for your shrimp breeding hall. Preferably, the desired environment should be quiet and without noise pollution or air pollution. It is best to stay away from urban areas while ensuring that your chosen location has access to electricity, water and reliable transportation. If your current land has these features, you can start shrimp farming there.
Soil quality or concrete pool
Before building a shrimp breeding shed, you should check the type and texture of the soil in your chosen location. Then, take soil samples from several areas randomly (preferably to a depth of 0.5 meters).
And perform physical and chemical tests to evaluate acidity, organic matter in the soil, and the level of fertility and physical makeup. For shrimp production, it is very important to have good clay in the soil. For commercial cultivation, sandy clay or sandy loam soil is recommended. In addition, clay or silt soil is also of good quality. Because it minimizes the possibility of leakage and reduces water pumping costs. In addition, the land should be 1.5 to 1.8 meters above the water level (or high tide level if shrimp are farmed in the sea).
Suitable water for shrimp nest
Maintaining the water quality is also very important for the shrimp farm. Water quality refers to all the physical, chemical and microbiological characteristics of water. Proper pH level is very important in shrimp farming. The pH level of the water should be in the range of 7.5 to 8.5. After that, changes in dissolved oxygen level of water should be determined. Water hardness should not be less than four ppm. In addition, it is preferred if the water is rich in nutrients. However, the main difference is in soil requirements. Soil components are essential in selecting a shrimp farm because the farm is built with soil. But in the shrimp breeding shed where concrete pools or polyethylene ponds are used; The material of these materials becomes very important. Finally, shrimp cultivation with sufficient use of sea water or fresh water (water with low salinity) will contribute to its greater profit. Access to electricity, labor, building materials and technical staff are other factors that can help increase shrimp production.
