A New Technology of Shrimp Marsupenaeus Japonicus Cultivation in Semi-intensive Method in Albania
Year: 2011
Type: article
Abstract: The results obtained in the rearing of Marsupenaeus japonicus in Albania, using semi-intensive methods are described.The experiment took place in an existing Carp Farm, partially transformed in an extensive Shrimp Farm by a joint-venture (Italo-Albanian), which will be established as a Research Unit for shrimps production.The Research Unit is located in an area of approximately 6 hectares.The size and the number of utilized ponds will be very flexible and not cost effective.Four ponds of 0.5 ha each of them, are stocked with a number of Post-larvae (PL22) which will vary 5PL/m².With water exchange from a minimum of 5% to a maximum of 20%.Alimentation will be based on fresh food and dry food depending on price and availability.100,000 juveniles with an average weight of 0.02g each were released into the rearing ponds.After 120 days of rearing 1100kg of shrimps were collected weighing on average 20 g each.The final survival rate was 65% with a food conversion of 1.4.
