No results found.Freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergil) farming is a rapidly expanding industry in Thailand. The production of both post-larvae and marketable prawn increased about 80 percent between 1979 and 1980. Currently the industry consists of 59 hatcheries and at least 455 farms utilizing approximately 2,346 rai (375 hectares) of land. Current hatchery production exceeds 25 million post-larvae per year with a potential production of over 100 million. The total production of marketable prawn in 1980 is estimated to be about 350 tons with a total retail value of nearly 70 million Baht ($3.5 million). Thailand is already a leader in terms of total land used for freshwater prawn production including Hawaii. Since culture technology is not expected to be a limiting factor for expansion, the future development of this industry depends mainly on its economic viability and the market potential for locally produced prawn. The economic viability of this industry was evaluated mainly based on the d ata collected from a field survey. The production efficiency of both hatchery and grow–out farm operations in Thailand is relatively low. The productivity per unit of Artemia (the most important food for juvenile prawn) used in the hatchery is only about half that in Hawaii, and the production of marketable prawn per unit of pond area is only one-third. However, despite the low productivities, all of the hatcheries and farms interviewed are currently making a good profit mainly because of the re latively low cost of inputs and the prevailing high price of prawn. The average rate of return to initial investment is high for both hatchery and grow-out farm operations. In most cases, the initial investment can be paid off within the second year of operation. However, this situation will change if the production exceeds the demand resulting in a lower price for prawn and hence lower profit. -

No results found.Indonesia’s marine resources cover 37 percent of fish species in the world Several of these, such as tuna, shrimp, lobster, coral fishes and seaweed, have great economic value Indonesia is the largest seaweed provider in the world and one of the largest global suppliers of tuna and shrimp Seafood products are among the most widely traded food commodities in the world In order to meet the increasing demand for fish, Asian aquaculture has experienced a rapid growth in the past four decades Indonesian shrimp production reached 637 555 tonnes in 2016 making Indonesia the second largest shrimp producer in the world after China In 2017 cultured shrimp exports accounted for USD 1 7 billion or close to 175 000 tonnes (processed weight, including exports of wild shrimp) The Asian fishery industry relies on the major importing markets of the European Union and the United States of America, which have complex food and animal health, food safety and quality assurance requirements for market access, in line with World Trade Organization rules New market traceability requirements have implications for developing countries, such as Indonesia In anticipation of this, MMAF developed a National Fisheries Traceability and Logistics System Sistem Ketelusuran dan Logistik Ikan Nasional STELINA), an integrated information system linking all information systems related to capture fisheries, aquaculture, food safety and distribution points along the value chain, and providing data and information from point of source to the receiving buyer. -
