In shrimp farming, water is not merely a medium—it is the very lifeblood of success. Healthy water quality supports the ecosystem, ensures optimal shrimp growth, and secures sustainable harvests. Yet, water quality management does not begin inside the pond. It all starts at one critical point: the pond inlet.
In shrimp aquaculture, size isn’t just about weight or length—it’s a foundational metric that shapes economic value, harvesting efficiency, and market compatibility. Shrimp sizing refers to the number of shrimp per kilogram. The lower the count, the larger each individual shrimp. For example, size 100 means 100 shrimp per kilogram, while size 30 means just 30—each weighing around 33 grams.
As global shrimp demand accelerates, the aquaculture industry faces a critical challenge: scaling production without compromising environmental sustainability. In Indonesia, where shrimp farming is vital to economic growth and exports, farmers must rethink their practices to protect ecosystems while pursuing higher yields.
