10. Shrimp Aquaculture SRI LANKAN SHRIMP AQUACULTURE PRODUCES
4,000 MT PER YEAR AND
EXPORTS 1500 MT PER ANNUM

11. Shrimp Aquaculture Production by World
Projected annual growth 10.3%
Annual growth rate 7.0%

12. STRATEGIES TO INCREASE THE PRODUCTION & EXPORTS?
Is the Present Productivity is Acceptable from the Existing Shrimp Farms?
Is there any way to increase the Shrimp Productivity from the Existing Farms?
Can We Shift to Vannamai Shrimp Farming like other Countries?
Is there Any Alternative Aquaculture System proposed in between two culture ?
Do We Have New Area For Farming?

Total No of Ponds – 3200
Total Post Larvae per Culture – 270 Million
Targeted Production per Culture – 4000 MT
Average Targeted Production per pond – 1250 KG

17. Present Production Total No of Ponds – 3200 No of Culture Per Year - 2
Total Production per Year – 4000 MT
Total Production per Pond – 625 KG
Is the Present Productivity is Acceptable from the Existing Shrimp Farms?

18. Is there any way to increase the Shrimp Productivity from the Existing Farms?
Improve Farming System ?
Improve Hatchery System ?
Manage WSSV & MBV ?
Crop Calendar ?
BMP’s ?

21. POSSIBLE INTERVENTIONS
Mapping Shrimp Farms in the Shrimp Farming Zones for the Better Management of Shrimp Farming System
Improvement of Infrastructure Facilities, especially Electricity Supply to the Farming Area is very important to implement BMB Systems properly
Development of Brood Stock Bank and Nauplii Center with Screening Facilities for Specific Pathogens Free
Quickly Filling the Research Gaps of the Shrimp Aquaculture Industry

22. Can We Shift to Vannamai Shrimp like other Countries?
VANNAMAI VILLAGE
Can be Created in an Isolated area with a Shrimp Hatchery and 300 to 400 Hectare Grow Out Farming to Produce 5000 MT per Year Vannamai Shrimp for Exports

23. Tilapia Sea Bass Milk Fish Sea Cucumber
Is there Any Alternative Aquaculture System proposed in between two Shrimp culture ?
Tilapia
Sea Bass
Milk Fish
Sea Cucumber

24. Do We Have New Area For Farming?
Land Area Available for SHRIMP AQUACULTURE In
North & East
10,000 Ha.

25. GROWTH OF SUSTAINABLE SHRIMP AQUACULTURE INDUSTRY
PLAN THE FARMING CONSIDERING THE CARRYING CAPASITY OF THE NATURAL RESOURCES.
FOLLOW THE REGULATORY PROCEDURES
USE PROPER TECHNOLOGY
FOLLOW THE BETTER MANAGEMENT PRACTICES (BMP’S)
INCLUSIVE AND ENVIRONMENTALLY RESPONSIBLE MANNERS

26. GROWTH Will Reflect All the Value Chain Segments of the Industry
Shrimp Aquaculture
GROWTH
Will Reflect All the
Value Chain Segments
of the
Industry

27. AQUACULTURE VALUE CHAIN SEGMENTS
HATCHERIES
Produce Larval, Juvenile Fish and Shellfish for Transfer to Aquaculture Facilities where they are Grown to harvest Size
EQUIPMENTS AND TECHNILOGIES
These are Tanks, Ponds, Nets, Pumps, Aerators and Other Equipment and the Technologies for the Management of Aquaculture Units
FEED AND NUTRITION
Production and Supply of Feeds and Feed Additives for the Aquaculture Sector
GROW OUT FACILIITIES
Fish and Shellfish are Raised with Sustainable Practices
PROCESSING AND DISTRIBUTION
Businesses can also create value in Aquaculture through the processing and /or distribution of Seafood Products
