Brief Introduction of Neopenaeus monodon; Techniques for Breeding Neopenaeus monodon in seafood pool

1. Long-term conversion of cool and clean tap water with circulating water.

2. The water temperature shall be controlled at 13 degree and the salinity shall be 24 degree.

3. Don't use strong light or exposure.

4. Neopenaeus monodon, commonly known as sand shrimp and mud shrimp, belongs to Crustacea, Decapoda, Penaeidae and Neopenaeidae. Penaeus monodon is mainly distributed in the coastal areas of China, Fujian, Taiwan Province, Guangdong and Guangxi. Delicious taste and high economic value. Because of its strong tolerance to low salt, high water temperature and low dissolved oxygen, Penaeus monodon can survive for a long time after leaving water, which is suitable for commercial culture.
