THE IMPACT OF WATER ON SHRIMP SEEDLING SURVIVAL RATE
In shrimp farming, there is a popular saying: “Raising shrimp is raising water”. This emphasizes the crucial role of water quality in the survival and development of shrimp seedlings. The aquatic environment directly affects the health, growth rate, and survival rate of shrimp. Any changes in environmental factors such as salinity, temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, or the presence of pathogenic microorganisms can lead to severe consequences.
In reality, farms with effective water management systems can achieve survival rates of over 80%, while those lacking proper water control often experience high mortality rates, resulting in significant economic losses. To ensure the healthy growth of shrimp seedlings, farmers must apply advanced water treatment technologies. NTESCO is proud to offer optimal solutions to create an ideal water environment, minimize risks, and enhance shrimp farming productivity.

1. THE IMPORTANCE OF WATER QUALITY IN SHRIMP FARMING
1.1. Effects of Environmental Water Factors on Shrimp Seedlings
- Dissolved Oxygen (DO): Shrimp require oxygen for respiration. When DO levels drop below 4 mg/L, shrimp become stressed, experience weakened immunity, and face an increased risk of mass mortality.
- pH and Alkalinity: A stable pH of 7.5 – 8.5 promotes optimal shrimp growth, while low pH can lead to soft shells and increased disease susceptibility.
- Salinity: The ideal salinity for vannamei and black tiger shrimp ranges from 5-35 ppt. Sudden salinity changes can cause stress and reduce survival rates.
- Organic Matter and Toxic Gases: Accumulation of H2S, NH3, and NO2 in ponds can lead to toxicity, hinder growth, and cause mass die-offs.
- Pathogenic Bacteria and Viruses: Pathogens such as Vibrio and White Spot Syndrome Virus (WSSV) are primary causes of severe losses in shrimp farming.
2. PROVING “RAISING SHRIMP IS RAISING WATER”
- Water Quality Determines Shrimp Health: Clean and stable water promotes shrimp development, reduces disease risks, and improves survival rates.
- A Balanced Aquatic Ecosystem Helps Prevent Diseases: An optimal water environment sustains beneficial microorganisms that control harmful bacteria.
- Successful Shrimp Farming Models: Farms utilizing advanced water treatment technologies often achieve survival rates exceeding 85%, whereas traditional models without optimized water management struggle to surpass 50%.
