Increase my shrimp farm production.

Enter what the farm produces today and what you want it to produce. FishMatch estimates the additional PL, feed, aeration, oxygen, pumping, monitoring and power the uplift requires — and what the upgrade is likely to cost and return.

Likely upgrade scope

  • • Raise stocking density and PL supply (≈ 39.3M additional PL per year).
  • • Add ≈ 495 kW installed aeration (≈ 225 paddlewheel-equivalent units) with redundancy.
  • • Add oxygen back-up (LOX or on-site generation) for peak biomass and emergencies.
  • • Install automatic feeders to protect FCR at higher feeding rates.
  • • Upgrade pumping and water exchange capacity, plus intake filtration.
  • • Add central drains / sludge removal and effluent treatment.
  • • Install continuous DO, temperature, pH and salinity monitoring with alarms.
  • • Size backup generation for critical loads (≈ 773 kVA additional).

Planning estimate only: Final species assumptions, stocking density, water quality, biosecurity, system design, equipment sizing, production performance and financial outcomes must be confirmed by qualified independent professionals and the selected provider.

Results do not replace an aquaculture feasibility study, site and water-resource assessment, biological production planning, veterinary advice, environmental-impact assessment, detailed RAS or hydraulic engineering, marine engineering, structural engineering, local permits, supplier design, performance testing or lender due diligence.

Shrimp intensification questions

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Intensification is a package, not a single purchase: higher stocking density, more PL, more installed aeration and oxygen back-up, automatic feeding to protect FCR, larger pumping and water treatment capacity, sludge removal, continuous monitoring and backup power. Raising density without the supporting infrastructure is the most common cause of crop loss.

Plan on roughly 0.9 kW of additional installed aeration per extra tonne of annual production, with redundancy, plus oxygen back-up once ponds run above about 5 kg/m³. This calculator converts your target tonnes/ha into added kW, paddlewheel-equivalent units and generator kVA.

Upgrade CAPEX typically lands between €1,800 and €4,200 per additional tonne of annual capacity depending on country and pond condition. Against Vannamei farmgate prices, payback commonly falls in the 1–3 year range when survival and FCR hold — but results depend entirely on management, water quality and health status, and are never guaranteed.

Yes, proportionally. At an FCR of 1.4, every extra 100 t/year of shrimp needs about 140 t/year of feed, more storage and usually automatic feeders. FishMatch passes the additional tonnage to FeedMatch for shrimp feed sourcing.
