Shrimp Hatchery Equipment — Maturation, Larval & PL Production
Shrimp hatcheries convert broodstock into post-larvae (PL). Design centres on biosecurity, temperature stability and live-feed reliability. The output KPI is PLs delivered per broodstock per year at documented quality.

Typical applications
- Broodstock maturation modules
- Larval rearing tanks
- Algae and artemia production
- PL grading, counting and packing
Project sizes
- Small: 50M PL/year
- Commercial: 200M–1B PL/year
- Mega: 1B+ PL/year
Selection criteria
- Documented PL/female KPIs
- SPF/SPR biosecurity design
- Redundant temperature and oxygen
- Algae and artemia scale matched to peak spawning
Questions buyers should ask
- What is your guaranteed PL/female?
- How is water zoned between broodstock, larval and live-feed?
- What is the redundancy for boilers and blowers?
Common procurement mistakes
- Copying pond-farm biosecurity into a hatchery
- Under-sizing algae or artemia capacity
- Skipping quarantine for imported broodstock
RFQ recommendations
- Publish target PL/year with quality spec, not equipment list
- Include biosecurity SOPs as part of vendor scope
