We evaluated the advantages of all-male king freshwater shrimp (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) cultures over conventional mixed-sex and all-female systems in terms of growth performance, production yield, and profitability. More larvae can be kept if a constant water supply and additional food management can be ensured. Kingfish shrimp larvae do not grow well at high stocking densities. They can fight each other when faced with a shortage of supplementary food. Be more careful when caring for the larvae from the hatchery. Good quality king shrimp larvae increase your chances of getting more profit from farming king river shrimp. So always buy larvae from reputable hatcheries. After applying fertilizer, you will notice that your pond will produce noxious gases. Therefore, to grow the giant river shrimp larvae properly, remove the gas first. But this natural food is not enough. Therefore, the pond should be provided with additional food. In fact, proper growth and profits in giant river shrimp farming depend on providing adequate, quality supplemental feed. Refer to the chart below to understand the ingredients of a 1kg giant river shrimp supplement. Please give 4% of supplementary food according to the weight of giant river shrimp every day. Feed twice daily. Take one rest in the morning and one in the evening. The amount of supplementary feed per 1,000 river shrimp by age is shown in the table below. The use of pond fertilizer is very important for giant river shrimp farming. You can increase the natural food production of giant river prawns by fertilizing ponds. Giant river shrimp change shells during different stages of life. Jumbo River Shrimp usually reach production weight at 6-7 months of age. Weight he can start collecting giant river prawns over 100 grams. Different types of nets can be used to collect giant shrimp from ponds. If you follow all the steps above, you can produce 800-1000 kg of Giant River Shrimp from a 1 acre pond. And it definitely guarantees maximum profit from your giant river shrimp farm. You may be able to easily sell your products in your local market. These are the normal procedures and methods for a successful giant river shrimp farming business. I hope you find this guide helpful. I wish you good luck. The king of freshwater shrimp, native to India and Southeast Asia, Macrobrachium rosenbergii, commonly known as 'scampi', is the largest of the freshwater shrimp. It is a candidate species for aquaculture because of its very rapid growth rate, market demand, hardiness, eulys salt properties, and compatibility with the large Indian carp. During the day it is half-buried in sediment or hidden in well-protected shelter from direct sunlight. It usually seeks flat areas rich in aquatic vegetation and organic debris. Breeds year-round, even in captivity, which peaks during the monsoon season. It requires freshwater and brackish water habitats to complete its life cycle. Larvae feed on zooplankton, but larvae and adults are benthic omnivores. Scampi grow to 30 to 32 cm (350 to 450 g) and are half occupied by the cephalothorax.
