| Good Practices: |
sterilization is an important step to provide a disease- free environment for the shrimp. Before stocking begins it is important to sterilise all aspects of the farm - the pond itself, all the equipment and the culture water. |
| Bad Practices: |
The filters should be maintained regularly by rinsing them with clean water and removing any deposits. |
| Suggestions Given: |
|
| Clean the ponds with disinfectants like 10 ppm hypochlorite solution. |

| Good Practices: |
Water sterilization requires two steps: Prefiltration and disinfection. For Prefiltration, use filters with a mesh of less than 200-300 microns at the water inlet to prevent entry of pathogens, predators and undesirable settleable solids. |
| Bad Practices: |
Good Practices 2: If the farm suffered from disease outbreak in the previous cycle, use lime with a pH upto 11 to eradicate spores and prevent further outbreaks in the next cycle. |
| Suggestions Given: |
|
| The filters should be maintained regularly by rinsing them with clean water and removing any deposits. |

| Good Practices: |
Alkalinity: Maintenance of alkalinity can be done by applying bicarbonate or carbonate compounds , such as NaHco3, Na2CO3,CaCO3, and CaMg(CO3)2. |
| Bad Practices: |
It is better to apply treatment periodically rather than when alkalinity spikes occur. To maximise alkalinity increase , the amount applied at each treatment time should not be more than 20ppm. |
| Suggestions Given: |
|
| Alkalinity treatment is recommended to be done at night or early morning . Bicarbonate compounds will react with carbon dioxide (CO2) which are more available at night due to respiration of all organisms. |

| Good Practices: |
Probiotics are good bacteria which may boost shrimp growth , prevent stress and disease,as well as maintain good water quality. Probiotics are better applied at the beginning of the cycle,helping the juvenile shrimp acclimate to the new environment. |
| Bad Practices: |
Need to apply probiotics at the right time |
| Suggestions Given: |
|
| It is also recommended to apply probiotics during stressful situations for shrimp.such as water exchange and partial harvest. The good bacteria work by enhancing the shrimp gut health and maintaining a relatively good environment. |

Feed management practices: Feed management is the most important aspects of successful shrimp production as the feed accounts for 50 to 60% of the operating cost. Feed should be fresh&of good quality¬ more than 90days old from date of manufacture. |
| Bad Practices: |
Never mix any antibiotics with the feed. it is preferable to switch off the aerators, just before feeding until 2hrs after feeding. based on stocking density. Do not keep any fuel or liquid items in the feed store. |
| Suggestions Given: |
|
| Reduce feeding during periods of low DO, plankton crash, rain fall, molting, extremes of temperature and during disease outbreaks. Install feed trays after 10 days of stocking and monitor the feeding from 20 days. |

sterilise everything....
improve your biosecurity...
Maintain optimum alkalinity level....
calibrate all your measurement tools...
Assess post- larvae ( PL) and shrimp health...
Take shrimp samples regularly....
Use the baby bucket method |
| Bad Practices: |
Before stocking begins, it is important to sterilise all aspects of the farm- itself, all the equipment and the culture water- to make sure that pathogens are eradicated and the risk of disease minimised. |
| Suggestions Given: |
|
| Apply probiotics in the right time Beware of Moulting |

Micro bubble aeration technology uses a generator to produce microscopic bubbles which release free radicals and boost dissolved oxygen levels in water, allowing it to cleanse itself of waste products and increase productivity. |
| Bad Practices: |
|
| Suggestions Given: |
|
| By releasing free radicals into the water,
micro - bubbles create the potential to disinfect the water through detoxification and degradation of organic pollutants. Using this technology, our aim was to improve shrimp growth. |

| Good Practices: |
Use artificial feed only from a certified feed mill, which has implemented program for quality assurance and safety ( e.g. GAP,GMP, and HACCP )
Feed ingredients must be top quality ( including binders ) and from well - known and reliable origin. |
| Bad Practices: |
Do not use fresh diet to feed Shrimp in growout ponds ( excepting broodstock) , because it causes worst water quality problems than caused by artificial feed and could transmit diseases as well. |
| Suggestions Given: |
|
| Shrimp feed nutritional contents must be according to species and stage requirements; it will avoid feed waste into the pond.
Feed quality must be ensured by storing in dry and fresh places during short periods of time. |
