No harvest. No stocking. New farms are getting fast reslts than old consulted ones... rainny season in some parts of Brazil. First 3g above growth in superintensive freshwater system in Ecuador and welcome TecnoAqua in Dominican Republic to built the first vannamei hatchery and intensive vannamei production at the island. Talking about hatchery, welcome Aquasul in Brazil! Will be a pleasure consult you guys! The Ocean Ranch & Camarão do Zé!
Loosing larvae at nursery by not night monitoring shows how costly can be the PL mortality. 3 different nursery transferrences in this week of new freshwater shrimp farmers and the best result was 50% survival. Having a nursery/technology doesn't mean you know how to use it!
Hello there! Hope you like some harvests and nursery results with cost this week. Superintensive systems are not for everyone and must be very carefull. The losses can finish your project quite fast if you don´t know to manage. At the end, there is no miracle to revert the situation.
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our Founder and President of the Institute of Aquaculture Singapore (IAS), Mr Jimmy Lim.
Jimmy was a strong advocate of sustainable aquaculture and spearheaded and co-organised numerous large-scale aquaculture-related events, like AquaSG and Aquatainment Symposium. He was often seen flying around to various countries to provide consultancy services to farmers at his own cost, and as a result, fostered many friendships with farmers all around the world. A friend to farmers, Jimmy freely shared his experiences on the obstacles and difficulties faced in farming, and how some of these issues could be overcome with sustainable practices.
When discovered with the illness, Jimmy became even more determined to put in his best for the aquaculture scene in Singapore. During his final term as the President of IAS, Jimmy secured multiple MOUs and contracts with Institutes of Higher Learning (IHLs) from all around the world and established networks across Asia, Europe and America.
This morning, we lost our Founder, our President and our Friend, we would like to thank everyone for their support towards IAS all these years. We will continue to do our best for this institution, legacy and gift that Jimmy has left for us.
Newly stocked ponds make the growth average goes down a bit. Normal when you fixing issues step by step. Some ponds keep showing amazing growth rate with no partial harvests, meaning the main problem in shrimp farming is feeding schedulle and corrections - have weekly average by pond this week (sorry but in portuguese but you can see the average growth). 3 more brazillian farms in this week join the assistance group. Pakistan, Philipines and India farmers are quite solid to start to operate soon! No news from Europe farms so far, showing the COVID impact is getting bad there, but soon they will join us.
Hope you enjoy and keep sharing your results too. Have a wonderfull week.
Mortality of big shrimps at intensive BFT system brought the average growth down. A freshwater farm still strugulling to hire more employees to help water management and monitoring, continuing with bad average.
More farms in this week. Recovering uniformity in biofloc tanks is quite amazing and fast, if you properly feed - 54% to 31% variation coeficient in one week after changing feeding protocol.
First 4.0g above average, but some farms loose ther control with employees and water quality parameters. Overall average lower then last week. New stocked ponds, harvesting a small pond, and transferring intensive liner tanks. Fresh and low salinity had better growth this week, and overall average is comming up slowly.
No news... stocking week and more to come in several places. A BFT farm learning how to feed their animals getting their first 2g/week above. Looks they are learning how get better growth.
I did add another column with an average growth for the previous 4 weeks. The yellow ones are new farms in this week. Hope you enjoy it and share results here too.
Sorry by portuguese table but it is my Brazilian farm's report - it is the same table below. There are all farms under my view stocked and to stock in the next weeks. Next week will have more
I did set how long each farm is with me, beside their ID. The table has already the average DOC, estimated survival and FCR as requested. Holiday breaks interfered at growth in some farms which usually don't feed their ponds, but you already see different average growth numbers from last week
Only one emergencial harvest due electricity problem at new year. 2 nursery transference results. The bad tank management which allowed IMNV cause mortality, and another one positive with no problem after fix it in the same farm.
