1. Shrimp production and farming in Iran

Quality shrimp production is the result of principled farm management, environmental control, water quality, proper nutrition, and continuous monitoring of growth stages.
The shrimp production process begins with the preparation of ponds and continues until harvesting, processing, and preparation of the product for domestic and export markets.
2. Vanami shrimp growth cycle
Shrimp growth is a step-by-step process that begins with the entry of juvenile shrimp (PL) into the pond and, after going through the stages of growth, nutrition management, and environmental control, reaches the harvest stage.
The main stages of growth:
Egg
Napleus
Zoa
Mysis
PL
Growth
Harvest

3. Preparing shrimp farms

The beginning of a successful breeding period is done by principled preparation of ponds and examining environmental conditions.
Controlling the pond bed, water supply routes, water quality, and creating appropriate conditions play an important role in the optimal growth of shrimp.
Important steps:
Pool bed inspection
Inlet water management
Aeration and preparation
Preparation for the start of the period

4. Supply and transfer of baby shrimp (PL)

After checking the initial conditions, healthy baby shrimp enter the cultured pools and their growth period begins.
Selecting the appropriate PL, principled transfer, and controlling the initial conditions are factors that affect the quality and performance of the culture period.
Steps:
Selecting a healthy PL
Controlling the initial conditions
Transfer to the pool
Starting the growth period

5. Managing breeding conditions and water quality

Water quality is one of the most important factors in the success of shrimp farming.
During the growth period, important water parameters are continuously monitored and managed to provide suitable conditions for the health and growth of shrimp.
Important parameters:
Dissolved oxygen
Salinity
Temperature
pH

6. Feeding and controlling shrimp growth

Proper nutrition and managing the amount of feed consumed have a direct impact on the growth, health, and final size of shrimp.
A systematic feeding program, sampling and growth monitoring will increase the quality of the product and achieve standard market sizes.
Steps:
Regular feeding program
Controlling feed intake
Growth sampling
Achieving the appropriate size

7. Harvesting shrimp from farms

After the shrimp reach the desired weight and size, the harvesting operation is carried out in compliance with hygiene principles.
The harvested product is prepared for the next steps, including processing, sizing and packaging.
Steps:
Harvesting schedule
Hygiene compliance
Maintaining product freshness
Fast transportation

8. Processing and preparation for the domestic and export market

After harvesting, the shrimp are categorized into different sizes based on customer orders and, after appropriate processing and packaging, are prepared for shipment to domestic and foreign markets.
Steps:
Washing and sorting
Sizing
Packaging
Cold chain

Life Cycle of the Vanami Shrimp

1. Fertilized Egg

Fertilized Eggs

The eggs are released into the water after fertilization.

—

2. Nauplius

Has hatched and floats freely in the plankton.

—

3. Protozoa

Protozoea

Grows and prepares to enter the next stage.

—

4. Mysis

Mysis

Is an active swimmer and continues to grow and develop.

—

5. Megalopa

Megalopa

Changes shape and prepares to settle.

—

6. Juvenile

Settles in coastal waters and begins life on the bed.

—

7. Subadult

Grows in coastal waters or estuaries and approaches maturity.

—

8. Adult

Adult
Reaching maturity and returning to the reproductive stage to continue the life cycle.
