How to Farm White Shrimp? A Detailed Guide to Scientific Farming Techniques
AbstractSite: Choose a place with abundant water sources, good water quality and convenient irrigation and drainage to build a pond. The water depth should be controlled at 1-2m, and the pond is best rectangular. Pond clearing and fertilization: Disinfect the pond 15 days before releasing the seedlings, and apply an appropriate amount of organic and inorganic fertilizer 7-10 days before releasing the seedlings. Environment: The water temperature is best around 18-25°C, and the salt tolerance range is between 0-34%. Seedling release: Carry out in late May. Management: Increase the feeding amount during the rapid growth period to ensure sufficient feed.
White Shrimp Farming Techniques
1. Site Selection
Choose a place with abundant water sources, good water quality free of pollution and convenient irrigation and drainage to build a pond. The area should be controlled at about 2-5 mu, and the water depth should be controlled at 1-2m. The pond is best rectangular, and the pond slope is best controlled at 1:2-1:2.5. The pond bottom should be slightly sloped to facilitate drainage. White shrimp have relatively high requirements for water quality, so the shrimp pond must have independent inlet and drainage channels for irrigation and drainage and for regulating water quality.
2. Pond Clearing and Fertilization
15 days before releasing the seedlings, disinfect the pond with a certain proportion of quicklime or bleaching powder; 7-10 days before releasing the seedlings, inject 50cm of water into the pond, then apply an appropriate amount of organic and inorganic fertilizer into the pond to cultivate enough biological feed for the white shrimp.
3. Environmental Requirements
White shrimp have strong adaptability to water temperature, and the farming water temperature is best around 18-25°C; the salt tolerance range is between 0-34%; they are omnivorous with a tendency toward animal food, mainly feeding on benthic organisms, and they also feed on bottom plankton and nekton.
4. Seedling Release
Seedling release is generally carried out in late May. Before release, keep the shrimp seedlings in water with a salinity specific gravity of 1.003 for one week, then move them into the farming pond.
5. Farming Management
About 10 days after the shrimp seedlings are put in, gradually add water to the pond, and sprinkle an appropriate amount of quicklime or bleaching powder to improve water quality and disinfect and sterilize. When the water temperature reaches 24-30°C, the food intake of white shrimp increases significantly, and this is also their rapid growth period, so the feeding amount should be increased to ensure sufficient feed. Regularly splash quicklime into the pond to prevent mold, which can both prevent and control diseases and supplement calcium to help white shrimp molt.
Benefits of White Shrimp
1. Enhance Human Immunity
White shrimp are rich in nutrients and can enhance human immunity. They have the benefits of tonifying the kidney and strengthening yang and resisting aging, and have a certain therapeutic effect on conditions such as kidney deficiency and impotence, aversion to cold, physical fatigue, and soreness and pain in the waist and knees.
2. Promote Lactation
Grind 500g of fresh shrimp meat, heat it with yellow rice wine and take it. Take it 3 times a day for several consecutive days to help promote lactation.
3. Relieve Neurasthenia
The shrimp shell of white shrimp has a sedative effect and has a certain therapeutic effect on conditions such as neurasthenia and autonomic nervous dysfunction.
4. Prevent Arteriosclerosis
White shrimp are rich in magnesium, which plays an important regulatory role in heart activity. It can protect the cardiovascular system, reduce cholesterol content in the blood, prevent arteriosclerosis, and also dilate the coronary arteries, helping prevent high blood pressure and myocardial infarction.
