Shrimp Farm Equipment — Buyer's Knowledge Page
Shrimp farm equipment differs sharply by intensity level. Extensive earthen ponds share almost nothing with super-intensive lined raceways or shrimp-RAS. Scope your equipment stack around your intensity, species (P. vannamei, P. monodon) and target yield first.

Typical applications
- Extensive earthen ponds (0.5–2 t/ha/cycle)
- Semi-intensive lined ponds (5–15 t/ha/cycle)
- Super-intensive raceways (30–100+ t/ha/cycle)
- Indoor shrimp-RAS and biofloc systems
Project sizes
- Small: 10–100 t/year
- Mid: 100–1,000 t/year
- Large / industrial: 1,000–10,000+ t/year
Selection criteria
- Aerator kg-O₂/kWh performance verified under load
- Liner UV & abrasion class matched to climate
- Automatic feeder accuracy and hopper capacity
- Real-time DO / pH / salinity monitoring
- Biosecurity fittings (foot baths, one-way water flow)
Questions buyers should ask
- What kg-O₂/kWh do your aerators deliver at my salinity and altitude?
- What is the recommended aerator density (HP/ha) for my stocking?
- What is the liner warranty against UV degradation?
- How is water discharge treated and permitted?
Common procurement mistakes
- Under-aerating super-intensive ponds
- Buying automatic feeders without acoustic feeding validation
- Ignoring effluent treatment permit before construction
RFQ recommendations
- Tender aeration by kg-O₂/kWh at your operating salinity
- Include monitoring, feeders and effluent treatment in one procurement package
