Shrimp farming is a complex process with several stages. The process starts with broodstock, which are shrimps used to lay eggs. These broodstock shrimps are raised in bio-secure conditions to prevent diseases. SPF and SPR broodstock are produced in Hawaii and Vietnam to ensure they are free from pathogens or resistant to certain diseases. The broodstock are then shipped to countries like India, where they are placed in a broodstock maturation center to produce baby shrimp. The baby shrimp are kept in a hatchery for about 12 days and then moved to a larger nursery tank for a month. Finally, they are transferred to a grow out pond where they stay for two to four months. The entire process takes around three and a half to six months.
