Good Practices: Shrimps require a good flow of oxygen in order to survive and grow. and this can only be done with the help of mechanical aerators. These aerators will keep the temperature of the water to its optimal level and maintaining water PH.
Bad Practices: Over Aeration leads to Gas bubble disease
Suggestions Given:
Aerators keep predators away as well as help in keeping the water free from diseases, germs and unwanted weeds. clean water makes it a great place for the fresh water shrimps to survive and grow faster.

Good Practices: Gypsum (calcium sulfate) is more soluble than liming materials and can be used to increase the total hardness of waters beyond that possible with lime, although it doesn't neutralise acidity7.
Bad Practices: Gypsum works for water clarification by attracting clay particles together to form clumps or what we call floccules. As the clay particles continue to clump they eventually increase in weight and settle to the bottom of the pond of lake.
Suggestions Given:
The low cost and high solubility of gypsum makes it ideal for use in the maintenance of calcium levels in hatchery situations.

Good Practices: Stocking density: Penaeus Vannamei are amenable to culture at very high stocking densities of upto 150/m2 in pond culture, and even as high as 400/m2 in controlled recirculated tank culture.
Bad Practices: intensive culture systems require a much higher degree of control over environmental parameters, it enables the production of high numbers of shrimp in limited areas, resulting in better productivity per unit area than that of p.monodon.
Suggestions Given:
Both P. monodon and P. stylirostris can be aggressive, have high protein requirements ,and may be more demanding of high water quality , making them difficult to culture as intensively as P.Vannamei.

Good Practices: Gypsum treatment reduced phytoplankton abundance by lowering dissolved orthophosphate concentration through calcium phosphate precipitation. Gypsum also reduced carbonate concentration through calcium carbonate precipitation.
Bad Practices: Dosage: Ponds turbid with suspended clay particles were treated with 250- 500 mg gypsum/L
Suggestions Given:
The ponds were treated with enough gypsum to will equalize hardness and alkalinity.

Good Practices: Maintaining a healthy pond bottom is essential in all types of culture system. check the bottom soil weekly for the presence of black soil or bad smell. if the soil is black or smells it means pond bottom has deteriorated.
Bad Practices: During routine application of Agri .lime to the pond, spread more lime in areas where the pond bottom is bad. Clean feeding area can be maintained with adequate number of properly positioned of aerators.
Suggestions Given:
Avoid feeding in areas where the soil is black . check the feeding rate, reduce the feeding rate for couple of days , change 5-10 cm of bottom water while exercising precautions. Do regular chain dragging at feeding areas to get organic matter.
