Whiteleg shrimp broodstock production in Ca Mau - a good opportunity for farmers

(vasep.com.vn) Thao Nguyen aquatic seed company is the first fish breed company in Ca Mau province to produce whiteleg shrimp broodstock production by its technology in Nam Can district. This is an opportunity to develop the shrimp breed production industry of Ca Mau.

Just over 2 months the company has provided more than 30 million post shrimps to farmers in Ca Mau. Despite being the key area for shrimp farming, Ca Mau can only produce one-third of needed shrimp seed. To optimize 800 shrimp hatcheries in the province and to increase quantity and quality of shrimp seed, especially white-leg shrimp is a target of the province. 

“The district had 268 farms with 4 cooperatives and 4 companies, but all produce traditional black tiger shrimp seeds. Thao Nguyen actively put new technology into shrimp seed production and succeded after 2 months. This will facilitate provincial shrimp industry. ", said Mr. Truong Quoc Duan, Deputy Head of Nam Can District Agriculture and Rural Development Department

Thao Nguyen Aquatic Seed Company is located on National Route 1A, Chong My B hamlet, Ham Rong commune, Nam Can District. The company has over 400 nursery tanks, broodstock hatcheries, settling ponds for decease prevention and water treatment to produce 150 million black tiger shrimp posts and 200 million whiteleg shrimp posts annually. This, however, fulfills only 40% of demand for whiteleg shrimp posts.
