How to select a perfect site for vannamei farming?

Hello everyone:
   Today we will see about different ways to select an perfect site for vannamei farming. 

   This blog will help for beginners for selecting site. 

* P.vannamei is commonly cultured around the world due to its adaptability and growth. 
* Most of the persons showing intrest to do farming. 

Some of the common questions to select an better site. 

1. Select the species for culture. 
     If I selecting p.vannamei , then I have to select saline water area for better performance. 
2. Soil texture and soil type ( clayey sandy or clayey loamy soil better for maintaining good primary productivity) 
3. Better to avoid sandy sites. (Problems occurs by turbidity, problems in nutrient storage etc..) 
4. If it is coastal area, we have to analyse about high tide in that region. 
5. Locate the best water sources and analyse water quality. If using sea water, better to check bacterial loads at regular intervals. 
6. If you are using bore water, the checking of water quality at regular interval is important. 
7. Analyse previous climatic conditions. If you are doing more than two crops per year, then analyse better period with good weather conditions for crop. 
8. Region wise culture results? 
9. For vannamei, it is better to select site with more than 15 ppt salinity. 
10.Checking of soil quality like soil organic carbon, checking for nutrients. 
11. Better to take more than 4 to 6 samples from specific area. 
12. Field physical test to analyse the type of soil. 
13. Transportation, current, feeder canal are very important. 
If it is sea water, then filter can be used. 
14. Land must not more steeper than surroundings. 

 For lease ponds... 
1. Check for embankment condition. 
2. Visual observation for presence of black soil and organic matter. 
3. Age of the pond? 
4. How many crops are done? 
5. Status of previous crops? 
6. If it is diseases means, then analyse what is the type of disease? 
7. Status of adjacent pond culture? 
8. Status of seepage in pond? 
9. Checking for water quality? 
10. Checking for water exchange facility. 
11. Most faced problems on previous crops like turbidity, seepage. 
12. Check for generators, feed storage, current facility.... 

Each of the above mentioned conditions are very important. There is a very broad answers behind every questions. Contact for farming related queries. 

There are many minute things we have to consider during site selection. The pond is one of the basic element to determine the success of crop. 
                         Thank you🙏.

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

Image
  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
