Water Quality is Equally Important for Rearing and Breeding of Penaeus vannamei

“This is the inspection report of the Ministry of Agriculture on Aquatic Products Quality Supervision, Inspection and Test Center (Shanghai) for our shrimps, and there are no chloramphenicol, malachite green, and nitrofuran metabolite residues.”

Cai Kunquan, general manager of Yifa and Biotech Co., Ltd. of Longhai City, Fujian Province, told the author that the company is specializing in the production of a generation of ecological seedlings. “In the nursery link, we use microbiological agents (probiotics) to raise seedlings and eliminate all illegal drugs.” He also brought the author to the beach on the edge of the plantation: “The seawater on this side is about 22 degrees, and the water quality is better. At the beginning, it was also optimistic about this site.” He said that good water quality also has great benefits for water treatment, so that shrimp and broodstock have a better water environment for growth.

Speaking of how to breed P. vannamei, he suggested that white shrimp farmers in South America reserve a reservoir based on their own culture density. If there are 8 ponds, 2 can be reserved for water storage. “Shrimp ponds are not necessarily all used for raising fish. Shrimp, handling water quality is equally important for nursery and shrimp farming."

According to Cai Kunquan, the Naeba Plant uses OI broodstock this year and expects to produce 1 billion shrimp.
