Importance of temperature in metabolism of shrimp.

Hello everyone:
Today we will see about how temperature affects the body metabolism.
 Why food is so important?
     You all are know that every organism needs energy for their activities such as movements, muscle activity, chemical processes, biological processes which takes place inside of the animal. For this daily activity shrimp get energy mainly from the food with the various composition of protein, carbohydrates, lipids.
   Energy also used to maintain the body fluids in equilibrium condition. For these all process, food supplies the energy.

       Shrimp is an cold blooded animal. It's body temperature depends on the surrounding environment. If the temperature in surrounding increases, it will increase the metabolic rate of the body. If the temperature in surrounding decrease, it will decrease the metabolic rate of the body. So, we have to maintain optimum temperature for the better growth.
     
Metabolism:
    Metabolism is the sum of all chemical reactions which occurs in the body. By this process an organism get their energy for survival. Heat is the byproduct which is produced by this process and this heat will also influence the metabolic rate of the body.
        Anabolism: Storage of energy as a protein, fat and carbohydrates.
        Catabolism: Free energy for growth and work.

If the intake energy 100%means , 25%of the energy goes as a faeces energy and 8% is goes to urinary and gill excretion. In that 33% will go as a heat energy and remaining 34% only retained in the body of an organism.

So based on the dietary requirements we have to properly give food to the organism. All chemical reactions is influenced with the help of enzymes. These enzymes also functions based on the temperature range in the environment.
Temperature and kinetic energy:
         Heat increases the metabolic rate of an organism by increasing the amount of kinetic energy that is available to the cells. Kinetic energy is associated with the moving objects.
Cells uses two types of energy :
 - Potential energy.
 - Kinetic energy.
Kinetic energy: 
  In cells, energy required to shuffle the electrons to form a stable bond. Energy required for this process called kinetic energy. If the temperature increases means this reaction also increases. Then the animal requires high energy so it takes some extra food.
This is the reason why shrimps takes less food during winter and rainy times and shrimp takes high food during summer.

   Temperature increases - Increases the kinetic energy of the cells - then increase the metabolic rate- then organism needs high energy.

Optimum temperature range does not affect the metabolism and feed intake of an organism.

                               Thank you!

Better clarification about pH and Alkalinity in shrimp pond. Water quality series -3

  Hello everyone:     Most of us confused between pH and alkalinity in the pond ecosystem. If there is low concentration of pH and alkalinity means we can increase but if there is high pH and alkalinity means it is some difficult to reduce .           pH and Alkalinity are related but different. pH and Alkalinity:       If you have shrimp pond then you definitely know the variance of pH in the water. You want to know means , you can check 4 to 5 times in a day. you must saw the pH fluctuations. Yes, pH is very important factor determines the shrimp culture. based on the level of pH you can tell , what happening in your shrimp pond.       Fluctuations of pH is mainly determined by amount of carbon dioxide in your pond water. Other factors like soil pH, soil deposits like calcium carbonate, planktons density also determines the changes of pH in your water.   pH :       I am also tell the same meaning, pH is determined by hydrogen ion concentration.             pH low - high hydrogen

How copepods develops in shrimp pond after applying fermented juice?

Image
Hello everyone:      Are you know which is shrimp favourite food in zooplanktons? Yes, it is copepods. Shrimp eats more copepods which is present in the pond.       In last blog, I told about the reactions and preparation of fermented juice using organic substrates. It is the continuation of that blog. In this I will tell about how zooplanktons(especially copepods) developed after fermented juice application. Main purpose of fermented juice in shrimp pond:      Increase the beneficial microbial colonies by fermentation and produce various substances which is beneficial for beneficial organism growth. After application, it will forms the microbial proteins in the water column. It serve as a natural food for shrimp at stocking time.     Initially, we have to give some natural live feeds because it increases the strength and natural immune system of the Shrimp. So only we prepared for development of zooplanktons in the pond.   What are planktons?         Phytoplankton and Zoo

How temperature plays major role in shrimp farming.(Water quality series - 1)

Hello everyone:      Today we will see the importance of temperature in shrimp culture. What are the problems will come due to the temperature variance in shrimp pond.      Most of the persons who doing shrimp farm must know about the things what happened during temperature Change.       Shrimp grows very fastly, but we can't culture throughout the year. Why?     If you are doing intensive or super intensive system means no problem. But you are doing the culture of shrimp on outside means you have to fix the culture days based on climate change(keep in mind). Ok let's jump into topic. Temperature :       Most of the farmers doing in outer earthern pond. So in these situations, temperature plays important role in growth of our shrimp. We all focus only on ammonia, nitrite, H2S, but indirectly temperature plays very crucial role.         Heat is produced in water due to sunlight. Because sunlight have some energy in the form of photons , when it comes to contact with
