This document provides information about establishing a shrimp farm. It discusses the project idea, production methods, seed supply, land requirements, costs, pricing, and market opportunities. The intensive method uses circular tanks that are 2 meters high with a sand substrate and flow-through water circulation system. Stocking density ranges from 200-250 shrimp per square meter. Production ranges from 1.5 to 3 tons per 1000 ton tank. The document also includes financial projections, pricing, and information on the growing global market for shrimp exports.

1. Shrimp
Farm
Brief Project Report

2. The Project Idea
• Shrimp farming has now developed into an
important export-oriented food industry especially
in South Asian countries. The perception of an
unlimited market demand, high export price,
generation of employment and increase in foreign
exchange earnings may have encouraged many
countries in the region rich in aquatic resources to
place high emphasis on the development of the
shrimp culture industry.

3. The production
The ponds used in this type of
farming system are generally
irregular in shapes and sized
(3–20 hectares). Usually each
pond has a peripheral ditch
10–20 m wide and 30–60 cm
deep.

4. Intensive method of culture operation
• This culture operation is more sophisticated requiring
very high financial and technical inputs. The rearing
facilities are either earthen ponds or concrete tanks.
• Sizes of pond or tank vary for 500 m2–5,000 m2 as
found in Japan, Taiwan, Philippines and Thailand.
Dikes may be of pure earthen material, earth coated
with plastic sheets or concrete

5. Intensive method of culture operation
• Culture facilities consist of circular tanks with capacities ranging from 1000 to
2000 tons and average height of 2 meters.
• A sand substrate covers the tank bottom and water circulation is effected by
flow through system.
• The shrimps are fed daily with high protein formulated diet. Stocking density
ranges from 200–250 per m2 and average production ranges from 1.5 to 3
tons per crop in 1000 ton tank and about 10–20 tons/ha/year in earthen
ponds with concrete dikes.

6. Seed Supply
• Shrimp fry are generally collected from the
wild. However, substantial number can be
supplied through shrimp hatcheries.
• Natural abundant supply of naturally
occurring post-larvae of Penaeid shrimp in
many tropical/ subtropical Asian countries
has supported a large number of shrimp
farms in the region. About 80% of the small
shrimp farmers still depend on wild fry for
culture. Fry are collected either through
trapping ponds or from natural fry grounds.

7. Seed from
hatchery
Shrimp hatchery has become an important supply
source for fry. Some hatcheries can produced shrimp
fry all year round as long as spawners are available.
An added advantage is that hatchery-bred fry of the
same age are almost uniform in size and can be
produced in large quantities at any one time. At
15–21 days old, the fry are ready for stocking in
ponds. Although wild fry are ready for stocking in
ponds. is inconsistent. The hatchery, therefore, is a
more reliable seed source.

9. Market
Opportunity
• Saudi Arabia Is Shipping 6,000 Tons of Shrimp a
Week to China
• Overall exports of shrimps totaled US$19.3
billion in 2017.
• That dollar amount reflects a 17.9% gain since
2013 and a 6.1% uptick from 2016 to 2017.
• Global shipments of frozen shrimps fared much
better than international sales for fresh, salted or
smoked shrimps. The value of exported frozen
shrimps increased by 24.6% from $15.4 billion in
2013 to $19.2 billion during 2017. Year over year,
exports for frozen shrimps improved by 11.4%
from 2016 to 2017.

10. Health Benefits of Shrimps
Beneficial in eliminating bad cholestrol
Reduces risk of lung and prostate cancer
Helps to prevent hair loss
Helps maintain healthy bones
Helps improve memory performance
Gives relief from menstrual cramps in women
Aids in treating age-related macular degeneration

11. Frozen Shrimp Exports by Country (Seawater)
• 030626 for fresh, salted or smoked freshwater shrimps and prawns.
• Frozen Shrimp Exports by Country (Seawater)
• Frozen seawater shrimps generated $17.4 billion in export sales during 2017, up by 27.7% from $13.6 billion in 2013
and up by 10.4% from 2016 to 2017.
Below are the 15 countries that sold the highest dollar value worth of globally exported frozen seawater shrimps:
• India: US$3.9 billion (22.2% of
exported frozen seawater
shrimps)
• Ecuador: $2.7 billion (15.4%)
• Vietnam: $1.8 billion (10.6%)
• Indonesia: $1.4 billion (8.1%)
• Argentina: $1.2 billion (6.9%)
• Thailand: $921.6 million
(5.3%)
• China: $905.2 million (5.2%)
• Bangladesh: $488.1 million
(2.8%)
• Mexico: $441.0 million (2.5%)
• Spain: $343.8 million (1.98%)
• Belgium: $335.1 million (1.93%)
• Netherlands: $276.3 million
(1.6%)
• Saudi Arabia: $228.2 million
(1.3%)
• Peru: $216.2 million (1.24%)
• Honduras: $207.8 million (1.2%)
.

12. • By value, the listed 15 countries shipped 88.2% of all exported frozen seawater shrimps in 2017.
Among the above countries, the fastest-growing frozen seawater shrimps exporters since 2013 were:
Saudi Arabia (up 3,620%), Ecuador (up 118.3%), Argentina (up 94.8%) and Mexico (up 76.3%).
Three countries incurred declines in their exports of frozen seawater shrimps namely Honduras (down -
23.4%), China (down -21.9%) and Vietnam (down -7.2%).
