Application of high-tech shrimp farming in aquaculture

Applying high technology and intensive shrimp farming not only helps increase economic efficiency

Currently, fisheries are considered one of Vietnam’s key industries. The application of high technology and intensive shrimp farming not only helps increase economic efficiency and bring high profits. Thereby, it also contributes towards sustainable development in the industry.

What is high-tech shrimp farming?

High-tech shrimp farming is a model that helps manage the farming cycle in three main aspects: Efficiency of farm management, control of water environmental indicators, and management of equipment in ponds. Currently, there are many high-tech shrimp farming models appearing such as RAS (closed circulatory farming model), Biofloc, CPF – Combine, 2-phase farming,…

Fan the shrimp pond water.

Through the use of information technology, farmers can control water environmental indicators, record shrimp farming logs, and intelligently control pond equipment such as automatic feeding machines, water fans, and oxygen aerators. ,… From there, it brings ultimate efficiency to the farming crop, helping to increase productivity, increase profits, ensure traceability, and improve economic efficiency.

High-tech shrimp farming in 3 stages

Three-stage shrimp farming is one of the hottest high-tech shrimp farming models today. This is an advanced and creative form of 1 and 2 stage farming. One-stage farming only requires purchasing and releasing the seed directly into the pond.

In phase 2, the seeds are nursed for a period of time and then transferred to a commercial pond. 3-stage shrimp farming is more advanced, requiring 3 main areas, including the input water treatment area, the 3-stage shrimp rearing area (rearing pond 1, nursery pond 2 and finally the rearing pond until harvest). planning) and waste treatment area.

In phase 1, the nursery pond usually has an area of ​​200 m2 ^, built indoors to facilitate the care and health management of shrimp in the early stages. In the pond, there are always fans and aerators at the bottom of the pond. These devices do not operate 24/7 but are adjusted according to the needs of the seed shrimp. Now turning the device on and off no longer takes a lot of effort and time. In no time, just install the pond control cabinet, install the software on the phone, and remotely control it when connected to wifi, people can easily turn on and off electrical equipment in the pond, thereby saving effort. , labor, reduce electricity costs,…

Three-stage shrimp farming is one of the hottest high-tech shrimp farming models today.

Stage 2, when moving to nursery pond 2, shrimp are still quite small, have low resistance, are sensitive to the water environment, weather,… and are easily lost. Use an automatic environmental meter to monitor water parameters such as pH, temperature, salinity,… automatically, accurately and most effectively.

After 30 days of farming in phase 2, shrimp are transferred to commercial ponds (phase 3) with a fairly large area (about 1,500 m2 ⁾ , density is only 1/2 compared to the previous phase, suitable for Automatic feeding machines, virtual assistants right in the software on the phone, help farmers calculate the amount of food, market information, production situation… make more informed decisions.

Incorporating high technology into 3-phase shrimp farming helps shrimp reach a survival rate of 80% for the entire season, 10-15% higher than the average survival rate when farming normally (65-70%). Save labor, electricity and water costs throughout the farming season, creating quality products.

When combining the 3-phase farming model with Biofloc and RAS technologies, farmers will increase the success rate of farming. Ensuring the criteria of Cost Reduction – Disease Reduction – Reduction of water pollution in the future for sustainable development of the fisheries industry.

The 3-stage farming model with Biofloc and RAS technologies will increase the success rate of farmers.

Advantages and disadvantages of high-tech shrimp farming

High-tech shrimp farming helps to be proactive in seasons, limit diseases, thereby improving shrimp quality and output, optimizing income and economic efficiency for farmers.

The disadvantage of the high-tech shrimp farming model is that the investment cost is quite high. However, the level of investment depends on the scale of the model. Currently, there are many high-tech shrimp farming models that have reasonable prices for farmers and require good farming techniques.

However, current farming technologies have been applied in Vietnam, helping to solve difficulties for farmers. Hopefully in the future, high-tech shrimp farming will be widely developed, contributing to economic efficiency for farmers and promoting sustainable development of the seafood industry.
