The black soils are removed, then the pond bottom is thoroughly ploughed at a depth of 30 cm to remove the noxious gases existing in the soil. |
| Bad Practices: |
*** |
| Suggestions Given: |
|
| The water is pumped into the pond through fine filtration systems up to a depth of 3-4 feet. The water is treated with chlorine at 20 ppm-30 ppm and left for one week. The pond water is also treated with minerals and probiotic yeasts |

| Good Practices: |
Biosecurity: certain biosecurity measures are carried out like bird netting, crab fencing etc, but most farms lack proper biosecurity. |
| Bad Practices: |
Stocking: quality L. vannamei post-larvae pl12 – PL16 are procured from shrimp hatcheries after quality and PCR tests. The post-larvae are transported from hatcheries to culture ponds by road and air,and should only be stocked after a acclimatisation |
| Suggestions Given: |
|
| Stocking density: The stocking density of shrimp post-larvae is usually in the range of 70-100/m2 but can be as high as 120-150/m2. |

| Good Practices: |
Aeration: one to three single horse power paddle wheel aerators are usually used, depending on farm size and stocking densities |
| Bad Practices: |
The aerators typically operate for 8-12 hours per day during the entire culture period and create water current for the accumulation of wastes in the centre of the pond and to increase the dissolved oxygen in the water column. |
| Suggestions Given: |
|
| Aerators are placed 3 m away from the dykes and almost 40 m apart. |

| Good Practices: |
Sampling: Sampling allows farmers to understand shrimp growth and adjust the feed regime, preventing overfeeding and underfeeding
|
| Bad Practices: |
It is recommended to take shrimp samples every five to seven days using nets appropriate to the current shrimp size. |
| Suggestions Given: |
|
| Sampling is done to estimate the mean body weight (MBW), which is calculated by dividing the total weight by the number of shrimp. |

An Artificial Intelligence-driven approach continuously monitors the farm operations and favours real-time analysis of culture. It helps farmers’ daily tasks – optimising feed, disease prediction and management and offering advice from time to time. |
| Bad Practices: |
Sensor-equipped drones can also collect data – on levels of salinity, dissolved oxygen, water pH and temperature, to name a few. |
| Suggestions Given: |
|
| the latest technologies can even monitor the metabolism and heart rate of the stock. These insights enable farmers to take timely actions to create an ideal environment for their aquafarms, yielding better results. |

Blockchain is a digital record of transactions that is publicly accessible and incorruptible by any single entity. |
| Bad Practices: |
|
| Suggestions Given: |
|
| Blockchain first made its name in digital currency transaction processing, but there are signs it could be used to exchange information about a Shrimp’s origin, history, harvest, processing and delivery, producing a transparent aquaculture product. |

| Good Practices: |
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 of seafood. |
| Bad Practices: |
Using this technology, our aim was to improve shrimp growth and to support the circulation of beneficial bacteria known as Biofloc, |
| Suggestions Given: |
|
| Micro-bubble technology offers a safer, chemical-free and low-energy alternative to existing water disinfection methods and less operating cost |

| Good Practices: |
The systems and technology used in aquaculture has developed rapidly in the last fifty years. They vary from very simple facilities (e.g. family ponds for domestic consumption in tropical countries) to high technology systems |
| Bad Practices: |
Much of the technology used in aquaculture is relatively simple, often based on small modifications that improve the growth and survival rates of the target species, e.g. improving food, seeds, oxygen levels and protection from predators. |
