Sludge: An obstacle to shrimp health
Excess nutrients from poor feeding regimes result in accumulated sludge on the bottoms of shrimp ponds, harming the environment and animal health.
Responsibility
Aeration, mixing and sludge control in shrimp ponds
A benefit of aeration is the mixing of pond water. Similar to biotechnological reactors, microbial processes are more effective in mixed pond water.
Responsibility
Water composition and shrimp pond management
Natural waters have a very complex chemical composition and may contain almost any substance found in the atmosphere, in the Earth’s crust, or in living organisms.
Responsibility
Farm effluent during draining for harvest
Settling basins seem to be the only practical means of treating effluents released during harvest at small or large shrimp farms.
