Prawns (Vannamei) Seeds
As per the location of our area not only different varieties of fish are cultivated here but also there are many farmer who are engaged in prawns (shrimp) farming. There are many species of prawns but in our area penaeus vannamei (white leg shrimp) has a great demand. So we have also set projects for the production of high quality of penaeus vannamei seeds. We produce this seeds under observations of our well experienced person. The quality is checked by our experienced quality controller under various parameters. There is no compromise in delivering order on time. We take care of quality packing so there is no harm to the seeds. All these we do in reasonable rates.
Many factors must be considered when a farmer is deciding which species of shrimp he should culture. Due to its large size and high price ,Penaeus monodonand indicusare generally considered for farming. It has also been seen that both these species are suitable for farming in Kerala's environment.
-
Penaeus vannamei has the potential to grow as fast as monodon (at up to 3 g/wk) up to 20 g under intensive culture conditions.
-
They are amenable to culture at very high stocking densities of up to 150/m2 in pond culture, and even as high as 400/m2 in controlled recirculated tank culture.
Tolerates a wide range of salinities, from 0.5-45 ppt, is comfortable at 7-34 ppt, but grows particularly well at low salinities of around 10-15 ppt.
vannameiis very tolerant to low temperatures (down to 15°C) enabling them to be cultured in the cold season.
Vannamei require lower protein feed (20-35%) than P. Monodon resulting in a reduction in operational costs and amenability for closed, heterotrophic systems and has a better Food Conversion Ratios (FCRs) of 1.2.
