pond preparation practices: To provide the shrimp with a clean pond bottom and good, stable water quality |
| Bad Practices: |
no proper seepage |
| Suggestions Given: |
|
| increase the water holding capacity of the ponds to reduce disease risks & to reduce the excessive reliance on water exchange , pond water holding capacity has to be increased maintaining water depth at minimum water level of 1.2 meeter at the middle |

completely drain out the water from the pond, complete draining of water helps in removing the disease carrying fish and crustaceans from previous crops in the pond . if it is not possible to drain the water fallow wet preparation method. |
| Bad Practices: |
water checks in irregular frequency |
| Suggestions Given: |
|
| Remove the organic waste from pond bottom:Make sure that the displaced organic waste does not enter the pond again through rain water . if it is difficult to completely remove the black soil, plough when it is wet and let it dry. |

| Good Practices: |
1.Feed Management is one of the most important aspects of successful shrimp production as the feed accounts for 50 to 60% of the operating cost.
2. Feed should be fresh and of good quality and not more than 90 days old from date of manufacture. |
| Bad Practices: |
over feeding: "Enough is as good as a feast"
Accumulation of the feed particles in the pond does more bad than good.it decomposes and slowly deteriorates the pond environment condition making it more toxic. |
| Suggestions Given: |
|
| 1.Feeding just the right amount.constantly checking on the pond to see if the feed is being consumed,increase/decrease the feed quantity accordingly
2.Reduce feeding during periods of low DO,Plankton crash rain fall,molting&during disease out breaks. |

| Good Practices: |
Best Aeration on shrimp farming
Aeration is an important factor for shrimps to survive and grow especially in fresh water&thus farmers use the technique of Aeration to helps dissolve oxygen in the water
This enables the shrimps to grow faster &bigger |
| Bad Practices: |
Over Stocking: " Less is more"
shrimps are highly sensitive to a lot of environmental factors and stress is one of them.over stocking can increase stress among shrimps and a commonly found impact of this is growth retardation. |
| Suggestions Given: |
|
| Aerators keep predators away as well as help in keeping the water free from diseases&unwanted weeds.clean water makes a place for the shrimps to survive&grow faster,Aerators are placed 10' away from the dykes and almost 40mt.distance for each other. |

| Good Practices: |
Water Quality Parameters: The major water parameters are measured and recorded daily or weekly with the help of field testing instruments&test kits.The major water quality parameters-salinity,DO,pH,Temperature &TAN-are monitored at regular intervals. |
| Bad Practices: |
The farmer should have equipment such as water aerator sets, pumps, and generator that is mandatory in this culture. To reduce the capital investment , some farmers get this equipment for lease/rent. |
| Suggestions Given: |
|
| Water depth in the pond is maintained at 50 to 100 cm height level, while water levels about 90 cm is recommended in prawn farming. 20 to 30% of water is exchanged every 7to 10days and in the first 30days of the culture period, avoid water exchange. |

Biosecurity in shrimp farming involves stocking disease free seed, pond preparation, water screening, prevention of entry of disease carriers , personal hygiene and sanitation. |
| Bad Practices: |
Ensure all farmers in the society implement these biosecurity measures while pond preparation so that it reduces the risk of disease. |
| Suggestions Given: |
|
| Physical barriers to prevent crabs, birds and other animals. The objective is to create a fortress like condition at the pond to prevent entry of animals, predators and carriers whichm could pose disease risk. |

| Good Practices: |
If water quality and the pond bottom are good, shrimps are healthy and growing well there is no need to exchange water . Plankton bloom is essential to successful shrimp culture. Avoid use of ground water.Do not exchange or in-take water frequently. |
| Bad Practices: |
poor pond preparation, over feeding, High stocking Density. |
| Suggestions Given: |
|
| 1.Cleaning and Disinfecting the pond; proper pond preparation before stocking.
2. Buy PL from well-known,trusted hatcheries.
3. Stocking the pond with just the right number of shrimps.An ideal number would be 40-60 shrimps/square meter. |

| Bad Practices: |
carry out sampling during early morning or late evening at different places.The shrimp should be clean with normal color,have a full gut and without any infection of legs or antennae.Gut content of greater than80% of the shrimp sampled from a healthy |
| Suggestions Given: |
