Winter shrimp farming is often risky, but farmers still accept to "gamble with the sky" because if successful, it will bring high profits. Mr. Nguyen Van Su in Quynh Loc commune (Hoang Mai town) has 11 ponds with an area of ​​2,500m2greenhouses, net houses. However, up to this point, he has only raised 5 ponds.

Most households that raise shrimp in the winter crop have modern ponds with conical roofs, using load-bearing cable frames and 3 layers of nets and nylon covers to help prevent cold and keep warm in the winter, and pond temperature always ensures good growth and development for shrimp.

In addition, when raising shrimp in the winter season, farmers must regularly monitor the growth and development of shrimp, and monitor the pond 24/7 to promptly detect and treat diseases when shrimp are infected.

Shrimp nutrition is also of special concern to pond owners. Accordingly, biological products are mixed with standard industrial feed, and waste is treated to meet standards before being discharged into the environment. Photo: Thanh Phuc

However, the erratic weather and heavy rains from the beginning of the season have signaled difficulties in shrimp farming this winter. In addition, shrimp diseases are complicated, so in many places, shrimp are infected and die. In the photo: Mr. Van Duc Duong's household in Quynh Dy ward (Hoang Mai town) said that he has released shrimp seeds in 3 ponds, but so far there have been dead shrimp, and they have to be scooped up regularly.

In addition, winter shrimp farming results in poorer growth, lower yields and longer farming time. In the photo: Shrimps have been farmed for 60 days, and have only reached a weight of 150 shrimp/kg. Photo: Thanh Phuc

For winter shrimp, farmers often have to face many unfavorable factors, high risks due to complex changes in weather, unusual rain and floods. For shrimp to grow safely and achieve high productivity, farmers apply biosafety technology, raise shrimp in floating tanks, raise shrimp in greenhouses, release them into the environment after reaching a good size, and carry out multi-stage farming. The farming process requires care techniques, when the temperature drops, it is necessary to reduce both the quantity and number of feedings; periodically check environmental factors every day in the morning and afternoon, if the index of environmental factors is outside the appropriate threshold, immediate measures must be taken.
