    1. There are three main methods of shrimp cultivation: extensive, intensive, and policultive. Extensive cultivation uses large open areas with low stocking densities and little monitoring, while intensive cultivation uses smaller covered pools with high stocking densities, aeration, and frequent feeding and monitoring. Policultive cultivation involves raising shrimp with other species like fish. 2. Shrimp are commonly produced in ponds, raceways, and tanks. Production costs vary significantly depending on the method used. Feed, post-larvae, and processing are typically the highest costs, and it usually takes two pounds of feed to produce one pound of shrimp. Pond yields typically range from 2,000 to 8,000 pounds per acre

    Methods of shrimp cultivation
    Extensive
    The extensive cultivation is also called open cultivation, it's characterized for the big areas pool used ( 10 – 25ha), usually
    aerators are not required, neither alimentation nor parameters monitoring aren't so frequently, usually the larva used in this
    type of cultivation are wild larva captured in the sea, the density of the cultivation is 10 larva for square meter so the
    production is a low production: 1000 to 2000 pounds for hectare.
    Intensive
    The intensive cultivation is the newest method of cultivation, usually pools are covered with a plastic cape for controlling
    the water temperature( 30º to 33º), the pools are small pools( 1 to 3 ha), aerators are strongly required( 6 to 8 for each
    hectare) and a constantly parameters monitoring and feeding is required in periods of 6 hours but it can turn to 1 hour
    periods in extreme situations, the density of this cultivation is 100 larva for square meter, so the production is very high:
    10000 to 15000 pounds for hectare, the larva used in this type of cultivation are laboratories larva, the period of growing up
    of the shrimp In this period is 3 to 4 months, the optimum weight is 12 to 15gr.
    Policultive
    The policultive can be intensive or extensive, it is characterized because the shrimp is sown with another specie of animal,
    usually fishes like the tilapia or the chame. It is a new type of cultivation and allows the cultivation of two species of animal
    in the same pools.
    Cultural Characteristics of Tropical Shrimp
    • Temperature: = 28±1°C for good reproduction
    • Salinity: = Oceanic 28-36 ppt
    • Light: = 14 hours of light ,10 hours dark (dim light)
    • For commercial production: = Ablation or removal of 1 eye on female
    a. Shrimp are placed in ponds or raceways for grow out.
    b. Post-larvae can either be stocked in nursery pond for 1 month or directly into a grow out pond.
    c. Sizes of shrimp vary (depending upon species and other factors).
    d. P. vannamei average 20 g after 30 days in nursery and 120 days in grow out.
    1. Shrimp are produced in ponds, raceways, and tanks.
    a. Production costs vary ($2.50-5.00/lb) because of the varied output costs associated with each form of
    production.
    b. Feed, processing, and larvae are the three highest costs. It usually takes 2 lbs of feed to produce 1 lb of
    shrimp.
    Pond Yield:
    Range 2,000-8,000 lbs/acre .Average 3,500/lbs/acre
    the optimum size is 10 to 25 hectare, generally the shape of each pool is rectangular, but there are also trapezoidal pools
    depending on the farmer convenience.
    Other Important Matter
    Size of production=6 to 10 inches long,released after six months.;Fry appear in the early part of May.;Nursery ponds
    measuring not bigger than 17 by 17 meters.;Stoking is done during the coolest part of the day.;The rearing pond is generally
    located adjacent to the nursery pond,at a regular size of haft a hectare to one hectare.;The water inside the rearing pond is
    change from time to time by taking advantage of tidal changes.;For local cultivation,5 to 10 juvenile shrimp/square meter in
    earthen ponds.;Recommended salinity is 30-35 ppt (1.022-1.026 density),; PH 8.0 (pH 6.0-9.0 is acceptable).;Keep
    dissolved oxygen above 4ppm.It needs 650ppm oxygen to oxidize 1g of accumulated feed at the bottom. Shrimp can breed
    at 1.17ppm but
    eventually die.
