Techniques
• Extensive ponds rely on naturally-occuring
organisms with little or no addition of feed or fertilizers
to simulate the natural environment .
• Intensive ponds, on the other
hand, depend on commercial diets to raise stock from hatcheries.
Aeration is achieved by mechanical means
• Semi - intensive ponds mix together
wild shrimp stock and shrimp fry from hatcheries. This leads
to a problem of unequal sizes of shrimp within a pond since
the natural seed will grow faster.
