Undersized shrimp are shrimp that are noticeably smaller than the average population in the same pond. They tend to grow slowly and often show signs of weakness or poor health. These shrimp may appear due to various causes, such as feed competition, poor-quality [shrimp fry](https://jala.tech/blog/cultivation-tips/the-strategy-to-choose-the-right-shrimp-fry), disease infections (like EHP), or unstable water quality.

The presence of undersized shrimp in a pond can result in losses for shrimp farmers. What kind of losses are those? Discover the answer below.

<ToC />

## Characteristics of Undersized Shrimp
If you find shrimp in your pond that show the following signs, they are likely undersized:
- Significantly smaller than the rest of the population in the pond.
- Slow growth despite being the same age.
- Thin and disproportionate body shape.
- Pale or less vibrant than healthy shrimp.
- Sluggish movement, often seen idle at the pond bottom.
- Low appetite or little to no response during feeding.
- Sometimes infected with diseases like EHP or other visible symptoms.

## Losses Caused by Undersized Shrimp
### Uneven Harvests
Undersized shrimp lead to uneven harvests. This affects pricing, as buyers typically prefer uniform sizes, such as size 100, 70, or 50. A mixed-size harvest can downgrade shrimp and result in lower grading.

### Lower Selling Prices
Smaller shrimp from the undersized group are usually priced much lower, even be rejected by buyers if they fall too far below market standards. The accumulation of these small shrimp can significantly reduce the total value of your harvest.

### Increase Production Costs
To compensate for the smaller shrimp’s slow growth, farmers often extend the cultivation period or increase feed amount. This definitely drives up [operational costs](https://jala.tech/blog/cultivation-tips/tips-to-reduce-vannamei-shrimp-farming-cost), covering feed, electricity (paddle wheels, aerators), labor, water management, and maintenance.

### Increase Disease Risk
Undersized shrimp are typically weak and under stress, making them more vulnerable to diseases. If not separated or managed properly, they can become a source of pathogen spread to the healthy shrimp population, especially if not separated or managed properly.

### Lower Survival Rate (SR)
If undersized shrimp keep growing and cause imbalance in the pond ecosystem, the mortality rate may rise and lead to a lower overall SR.

### Low Feed Efficiency (High FCR)
Since a portion of the shrimp population doesn't grow optimally despite continuous feeding, the [Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR)](https://jala.tech/blog/cultivation-tips/achieving-efficient-shrimp-farming-pay-attention-to-fcr) increases. This means more feed is required to produce 1 kg of shrimp, reducing feed efficiency and increasing production costs.

### Longer Cultivation Period
To achieve the target harvest size, the cultivation period is often prolonged. This reduces the frequency of pond cycles, ultimately hindering annual productivity, especially if the farm can only harvest 2–3 times a year.

## Conclusion
Undersized shrimp can be a significant source of loss in vannamei shrimp farming. From lower selling prices, rising production costs, to disease risks, they can disrupt your harvest success.

To avoid such losses, you need to focus on early prevention, including choosing high-quality shrimp fry, implementing proper feeding management, maintaining water quality conditions, and monitoring shrimp health regularly.

For more optimal farm monitoring, you can use [JALA App](https://jala.tech/app), a shrimp farm management application developed by JALA. Equipped with features like recording over 40 parameters and analytical charts, you can anticipate potential issues and make faster, more precise decisions.

Access JALA App at [app.jala.tech](https://app.jala.tech) and download the mobile version from [Google Play Store](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tech.jala.android) or [App Store](https://apps.apple.com/id/app/jala-tech/id1582412818). It’s time to farm better!

The presence of undersized shrimp in a pond can lead to losses for farmers, from inconsistent harvest sizes to prolonged cultivation periods.

Losses Caused by Undersized Shrimp in Vannamei Shrimp Farming

The Climate Smart Shrimp Farming (CSSF) project, an initiative combining sustainable shrimp farming practices, ecological restoration, and the application of technology, today announced the successful completion of its first production cycle with a harvest in Lalombi, Central Sulawesi. This milestone marks a significant moment in the journey toward environmentally responsible food production.

The project successfully harvested healthy, high-quality shrimp from four ponds, with average size of 24 shrimp per kilogram and meeting strict export standards. This success highlights the viability of an aquaculture model that prioritizes both productivity and sustainability.

![article-panen CSSF.jpeg](https://strapi.jala.tech/uploads/article_panen_CSSF_9671143a89.jpeg)

What sets the CSSF project apart is its core innovation of the three pillars of sustainability: environmental, social, and economic. The CSSF farm is located on restored mangrove land, where the mangroves serve as natural biofilters that help improve water quality. The project demonstrates that shrimp farming can coexist with nature, while also enhancing the added value of shrimp through the environment in which they are produced.

“The successful of the first harvest of CSSF Lalombi farm proves how investment opportunities for mangrove land in ponds can make pond businesses still profitable, of course also supported by JALA's digital technology. Next, we will find a way how the pond model adjacent to mangroves can be scalable.” said Liris Maduningtyas, CEO of JALA. 

A key aspect of the project is its collaboration with Konservasi Indonesia. Burhanuddin, Fisheries and Aquaculture Program Manager at Konservasi Indonesia, emphasized the integrated method applied in Lalombi CSSF farm. “This approach integrates wastewater treatment facilities, efficient farming practices, and mangrove restoration as a natural biofilter. The result is a balance between increased production and the conservation of coastal ecosystems,” he said.

![article-panen CSSF1.jpeg](https://strapi.jala.tech/uploads/article_panen_CSSF_1_f4d652638a.jpeg)

With this successful first harvest, the CSSF project is ready to continue and further optimize the farm while enriching surrounding mangrove forests. Further steps include scaling up production and actively identifying other idle lands to implement farming that coexists with nature. This pioneering effort in Lalombi is expected to become a model for environmentally conscious aquaculture and to strengthen the potential of sustainable shrimp as the key pillar in the global food supply chain.

Climate Smart Shrimp Farming Project Celebrates First Harvest, Paving the Way for Sustainable Aquaculture in Asia

Tidal flood is a phenomenon where seawater overflows onto land due to high tides. Along the northern coast of Java (Pantura), Indonesia, for instance, tidal floods are a frequent occurrence and pose a serious threat to shrimp farming operations. When a tidal flood hits, farmers often face a range of problems such as damaged ponds, shrimp mortality, and significant financial losses.

The frequency of tidal floods is increasing and it is driven by several factors, including [climate change](https://jala.tech/blog/cultivation-tips/the-effect-of-climate-change-to-shrimp-condition) that results in rising sea levels, excessive groundwater extraction that causes land subsidence, and the degradation of coastal ecosystems due to the loss of mangrove forests, which serve as natural buffers. Extreme weather with strong winds and high waves also worsen the situation, making it easier for seawater to overflow coastal areas.

Without timely anticipation, tidal floods can pose a major threat to the future of shrimp farming in the coastal area. What are the impacts? What actions and strategies can be taken to respond? Find out the answer in the discussion below.

<ToC />

## Impacts of Tidal Floods on Shrimp Farming
When tidal floods hit, shrimp farmers may face several challenges, including
- Seawater entering the ponds can disrupt salinity and dissolved oxygen levels, making shrimp more susceptible to disease.
- Tidal floods may damage pond embankments and equipment and cause pond soil contamination.
- Many farmers lose their harvests due to prolonged pond submersion during high tides.
- Capitals made for farming can go to waste, and repair costs are often substantial.

## Post-Tidal Flood Actions to Restore Shrimp Farming
To resume shrimp farming operations after a tidal flood, farmers need to take the following steps:
- Drain the pond immediately as floodwater may carry pathogens and harmful substances.
- Repair pond infrastructure by inspecting and fixing embankments, water channels, and pumps to restore proper function.
- Ensure salinity, pH, and dissolved oxygen levels are optimal before [restocking new shrimp fry](https://jala.tech/blog/shrimp-industry/shrimp-fry-is).
- Clean the pond bottom using dolomite lime or other sterilizing materials to prevent disease outbreaks.
- Add probiotics in the pond water to support the recovery of a healthy microbial ecosystem.

## Strategies to Anticipate Tidal Floods
### Choosing Pond Location
Choose a farming site that is safe from flooding. Ideally, the pond should be located far from the shoreline and on higher ground or with a decent slope. It aims to prevent water puddles during tidal changes.

### Building and Strengthening Pond Infrastructure
You can elevate pond embankments using durable materials such as river stone or concrete. In addition, install an effective drainage system to quickly discharge tidal water and consider using automatic pumps to manage pond water volume.
### Planting Mangroves as Natural Barriers
Mangroves serve as natural buffers to reduce wave energy and help stabilize the coastline. Replanting mangroves around farm areas can significantly reduce the impact of tidal floods.
### Using Weather and Tide Monitoring Technology
Indeed, the weather can be unpredictable. However, you can anticipate it by accessing applications or websites that provide real-time updates on tides and extreme weather forecasts. [A feature to observe the moon phase](https://jala.tech/id/blog/update-produk/fitur-fase-bulan-jala-app) will help you avoid risks due to tides.

## Conclusion
Tidal floods in coastal areas can have devastating effects on shrimp farming. These include pond damage, disease outbreaks, harvest failures, and economic losses. 

Even if their ponds are affected by tidal floods, shrimp farmers can still take recovery actions, from draining the pond to applying probiotics before restocking shrimp fry. Farmers can also anticipate it by
- Choosing flood-safe farm locations
- Building and strengthening farm infrastructure
- Planting mangroves
- Using weather and tide monitoring technology

These steps can be even more effective when paired with consistent data recording and monitoring of pond conditions. By managing farming operations consistently, farmers can make informed decisions and anticipate problems early on.

Tidal Flood Threats to Shrimp Farming

In celebration of World Oceans Day, commemorated annually on June 8, JALA and its four subsidiaries, namely PT JALA Akuakultur Lestari Alamku, PT Indonesia Makan Udang, PT Makan Udangnya Indonesia, and PT Gajah Mina Semesta, organized a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative titled “JALA for Ocean: Conservation and Real Action” on June 20–21, 2025. Held at JALA Headquarters and Pelangi Beach in Bantul, this initiative reflects JALA Group’s ongoing commitment to preserving marine and coastal ecosystems.

The program consisted of four main activities, namely waste education and recycling, adoption of one sea turtle nest, 150 sea turtle hatchlings release, and the planting of 200 fragrant screwpines. In collaboration with the Aksi Konservasi Yogyakarta Foundation (Fourkey), the initiative also engaged employees from all JALA entities, encouraging them to take part not only in field activities but also in long-term environmental efforts.

As part of its long-term commitment to environmental responsibility, this CSR program was not designed as a mere ceremonial event to commemorate World Oceans Day. Instead, the entire series of activities reflects JALA’s sustainable efforts to implement comprehensive Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles across all entities within the company.

The CSR program began on June 20, 2025, with an anorganic waste education and sorting workshop at JALA Headquarters. The FourKey team facilitated the session about the importance of sorting plastic, metal, and glass waste, as well as their impact on marine ecosystems. Employees were also involved in implementing a five-category waste sorting system across the JALA office. The sorted waste was then donated to FourKey for further recycling into useful products.

![Ocean Day](https://strapi.jala.tech/uploads/Ocean_Day2_da4adb93b1.jpeg)

On the following day, June 21, 2025, the program continued with a series of activities at Pelangi Beach. Through the turtle nest adoption activity, JALA demonstrated its commitment to support sea turtle conservation as well as participated in the care and protection of identified nests. This was followed by sea turtle hatchlings release, which aimed to improve their survival rates. This moment became an educational and emotional experience for JALA employees who participated in this agenda.

![Ocean Day](https://strapi.jala.tech/uploads/Ocean_Day1_95bb487b9e.jpeg)

At the end of the day, JALA employees planted 200 fragrant screwpines along Pelangi Beach as a part of JALA’s contribution to coastal rehabilitation. Fragrant screwpines play a significant role in preventing abrasion, maintaining sand stability, and providing habitat for coastal wildlife. Through this planting effort, JALA is eager to promote sustainable and participatory reforestation.

“On behalf of JALA, I would like to express our sincere gratitude to the Fourkey Team for facilitating our entire CSR program series. Through JALA for Ocean: Conservation and Real Action initiative, we aim to involve all employees of the JALA Group in the hands-on contribution for the preservation and rehabilitation of coastal ecosystems,” said Yasiqy Haidar, Community Development Manager at JALA. CEO of JALA, Liris Maduningtyas, added, “This moment marks the second time we’ve carried out a sea turtle conservation initiative, and it will be an annual agenda at JALA to ensure the preservation of the rich biodiversity of coastal ecosystems.”

By actively involving employees and the local community, JALA hopes this initiative will serve as the foundation for a growing coastal conservation movement that delivers lasting impact. Happy World Oceans Day!

Shrimp size is an important parameter in cultivation and [harvest](https://jala.tech/blog/cultivation-tips/what-are-6-important-steps-of-shrimp-harvesting-process). Within one cycle, farmers usually aim for a specific size of shrimp, hence it is essential for you to know how to calculate shrimp size.

By understanding how to calculate shrimp size and knowing the exact numbers, you will be able to plan feed management better and determine the optimal price at harvest. You can save money on feed and sell your shrimp at best prices.

However, before figuring out how to calculate shrimp size, you have to understand what shrimp size is. Check out the discussion below.

## What is Shrimp Size?
Shrimp size is closely related to the amount of shrimp and becomes a benchmark for profits in one cycle. Here’s the short explanation:

### An indicator of the amount of shrimp in 1 kilogram
A shrimp's size is determined by counting how many shrimp there are in every one kilogram. For instance, if you find a size 50 shrimp, it means there are 50 shrimp per one kilogram. The smaller the shrimp size number, the heavier and bigger the shrimp.

### Benchmark for selling prices
Shrimp size becomes a benchmark for selling prices to suppliers and an estimate of the future profits. Therefore, the smaller the shrimp size number, the higher the selling price and vice versa. For example, size 50 shrimp has a higher price than size 100 shrimp.

## The minimal size target of vannamei shrimp
Farmers usually aim for a minimum size of 100 during the first partial harvest. Size 100 shrimp already has a solid economic value and the demand for it is quite high. In addition to size 100, the demand for size 90 to size 50 shrimp on both domestic and export markets is high as well.

## How to Calculate Vannamei Shrimp Size?
Once you understand what shrimp size is, you also need to understand how to calculate vannamei shrimp size. Apart from being calculated at harvest, vannamei shrimp size can also be calculated on a certain Day of Culture (DoC) through [sampling](https://jala.tech/blog/cultivation-tips/does-weekly-sampling-really-cause-losses-in-shrimp-farms).

Sampling is the activity of monitoring shrimp condition through multiple samples in feeding trays or nets. This activity is conducted periodically to determine the size, growth rate, Average Body Weight (ABW), and [Average Daily Gain (ADG)](https://jala.tech/blog/cultivation-tips/what-is-adg) of the shrimp from time to time. From the sampling results, farmers can also identify potential disease symptoms.

During sampling, you can use the following formula for calculating shrimp size:
![How to Calculate Shrimp Size.png](https://strapi.jala.tech/uploads/How_to_Calculate_Shrimp_Size_014209b2b0.png)

For example, a farmer conducted sampling on DoC of 56 days and found that the ABW of his shrimp sample was 10.47 grams. The farmer wanted to know the shrimp size, hence he did the following calculations:

Size = 1,000 grams / 10.47 grams = 95,5

From the calculation above, the shrimp size obtained is 95.5 shrimp/kg.

## Conclusion
In vannamei shrimp farming, size is 
- A measurement based on the amount of shrimp in every one kilogram
- One of the benchmarks for selling prices

Vannamei shrimp size calculation is done by dividing 1,000 grams by ABW. This calculation can be conducted both at harvest and at periodical sampling.

How to Calculate Vannamei Shrimp Size: Here's the Complete Explanation!

The vannamei shrimp life cycle consists of several stages, starting from eggs to finally becoming adult shrimp. Every developmental stage has different characteristics.

It is important to understand the life cycle of vannamei shrimp larvae to provide them with appropriate treatment. By understanding the life cycle of vannamei shrimp, you can identify their needs and adjust their surroundings.

What are the stages of vannamei shrimp life cycle and how should the larvae be treated? Read more in this article.

## What is the Life Cycle of Vannamei Shrimp?
The life cycle of vannamei shrimp begins with spawning between male and female shrimp. Female shrimp that have reached maturity or have reached 7-8 months and have an orange color on their backs can become broodstock. 

The female shrimp will release pheromones that stimulate male shrimp. After that, the mating process occurs. Later, the mating process between the male and female shrimp produces eggs which will be laid by the female shrimp.

About 4-5 hours later, female shrimp or now broodstock lay eggs. These eggs are pre-larvae which will later develop into cultivated vannamei shrimp.

Furthermore, read the following explanation about stages of shrimp life cycle:

### 1. Eggs
A broodstock is usually capable of delivering 500,000-1,000,000 eggs each time it lays eggs. These eggs are kept apart from their broodstock in a different pond.

It takes 12-16 hours for the eggs to eventually hatch into microscopic larvae (naupli).

### 2. Naupli
Naupli or nauplius is the initial stage of development of vannamei shrimp larvae. At this stage, shrimp larvae at this stage have food reserves such as egg yolk stored in their bodies, hence they do not need artificial feed intake yet.

Throughout the naupli stage, the larvae undergoes six changes of form, namely Nauplius I, Nauplius II, Nauplius III, Nauplius IV, Nauplius V, and Nauplius VI.

![Naupli Udang Vaname.png](https://strapi.jala.tech/uploads/Naupli_Udang_Vaname_2168b28ce1.png)
Naupli (Wyban and Sweeney, 1991 in Nuraini, 2021)

### 3. Zoea
Naupli will grow into zoea or 1.05–3.30 mm shrimp larvae. At this stage, zoea undergo three changes of form, namely Zoea I, Zoea II, and Zoea III, and can be fed natural feed. This stage lasts for 3-4 days.

![Zoea Udang Vaname.png](https://strapi.jala.tech/uploads/Zoea_Udang_Vaname_20ccc25218.png)
Zoea (Wyban and Sweeney, 1991 in Nuraini, 2021)

### 4. Mysis
At the mysis stage, the larvae start to resemble shrimp because they have a fan-shaped tail. These larvae have the characteristic of moving backwards and bending their bodies (Azizah, 2018). 

Similar to zoea, mysis will undergo three changes in form, namely Mysis I, Mysis II, and Mysis III.

![Mysis Udang Vaname.png](https://strapi.jala.tech/uploads/Mysis_Udang_Vaname_fc974ca77e.png)
Mysis (Wyban and Sweeney, 1991 in Nuraini, 2021)

### 5. Post Larvae
The count used at this stage uses days, for example if the post larvae are 1 day old, they are PL1. Apart from that, shrimp in the post-larvae stage have started to actively move around.

Post larvae are usually raised until PL11-PL12. At this stage, the post-larvae is known as [shrimp fry](https://jala.tech/blog/cultivation-tips/the-strategy-to-choose-the-right-shrimp-fry) which are resistant to rearing conditions and are ready to be stocked in ponds.

Post Larvae (Wyban and Sweeney, 1991 in Nuraini, 2021)

### 6. Juvenile
Juvenile is the next stage of the shrimp life cycle following post larvae. At this stage, the shape of the shrimp already resembles adult shrimp. 

However, this stage is considered a vulnerable period in the shrimp life cycle because shrimp require a habitat with the right amount of feed and environmental conditions (Putri, Nitisupardjo, & Hendrarto, 2014). At this stage, the shrimp are transported from the hatchery to the farm for cultivation.

### 7. Young Shrimp
After 80-90 days from the juvenile stage, the shrimp will grow to be young shrimp. Its weight depends on the [cultivation system in the farm](https://jala.tech/blog/cultivation-tips/shrimp-farm-type), ranging from extensive to supra-intensive.

### 8. Adult Shrimp
About 25-30 days later, the young shrimp grow to be adult shrimp, and this is the final stage of the shrimp life cycle. 

Shrimp can be said to be adult starting 4 months after the juvenile phase. In this stage, the shrimp are ready to be harvested because they already reach enough economic value.

## Tips for Rearing Shrimp Larvae
Vannamei shrimp larvae require the proper treatment during their life cycle to ensure the best potential growth into shrimp. Here are some measures that need to be taken to rear vannamei shrimp larvae:

### 1. Maintain Water Quality

Water is a crucial factor since it is the habitat where shrimp larvae grow. Therefore, make sure that the water quality parameters in the rearing pond, such as pH, temperature, [salinity](https://jala.tech/blog/cultivation-tips/change-of-salinity-level-shrimp-ponds), and dissolved oxygen are in ideal conditions.

It is best to measure [water quality parameters](https://jala.tech/baruno) every day and record developments over time. These records can provide insights to help you take action in cultivation.

### 2. Manage Feed Properly
During the rearing period, shrimp larvae consume natural feed such as phytoplankton and zooplankton, especially since the zoea stage. However, if necessary, the hatchery will also provide artificial feed based on the nutritional needs of each larvae stage.

Shrimp larvae are fed 4-6 times a day in the [hatchery](https://jala.tech/blog/shrimp-industry/the-crucial-sector-in-shrimp-industry-hatchery). As the age of the shrimp larvae adds, the size of the feed and the dose given will increase. This is because the nutritional needs of shrimp larvae are increasing.

### 3. Prevent Diseases
[Shrimp disease](https://jala.tech/blog/shrimp-diseases/5-effective-ways-to-prevent-vannamei-shrimp-diseases) must also be paid attention to during the rearing period. Zoea Syndrome is one disease that often attacks shrimp larvae and is characterized by the larvae's unwillingness to eat since the Zoea I stage.

To prevent the spread of disease, it is best to separate the spawning tanks from the larvae rearing tanks. Additionally, maintain the sterility of the rearing area by, for example, making sure the person that helps with spawning them has received disinfection.

## Conclusion
The vannamei shrimp life cycle consists of 8 stages, namely
1. Eggs
2. Naupli
3. Zoea
4. Mysis
5. Post Larvae
6. Juvenile
7. Young Shrimp
8. Adult Shrimp

Once you understand the life cycle, make sure the hatchery where you get your shrimp fry implements the proper measures for rearing vannamei shrimp larvae. An SPF or SPR certificate is also required to minimize the risk of disease attacks and improve [the quality of the shrimp](https://jala.tech/blog/cultivation-tips/successful-tips-in-maintaining-shrimp-quality) itself at harvest.

The next important thing is recording the daily conditions of cultivation. In addition to the development of the shrimp fry, other variables such as feed, disease, and water quality measures should also be recorded.

## Various Types of Freshwater Shrimp
There are several types of freshwater shrimp that are popularly cultivated in Indonesia, such as the giant freshwater prawn, monkey river prawn, and the red nose shrimp. Let's explore the characteristics of each shrimp type!

### 1. Giant Freshwater Prawn
Next is the giant freshwater prawn (_Macrobrachium rosenbergii_), which is commonly found in rivers and coastal estuaries in Sri Lanka, Indonesia, and China. With a large body size, reaching up to 30 cm, and sweet, juicy flesh, giant freshwater prawns have a slow growth rate, taking about 180 days to reach a high economic value.

![udang galah](https://strapi.jala.tech/uploads/udang_galah_4d67f2736d.png)

Giant freshwater prawns come in various colors such as green, blue, brown, and yellow, with a curved long rostrum and longer claws compared to their legs.

### 2. Monkey River Prawn
The monkey river prawn (_Macrobrachium lar_) is commonly found in the West Indo-Pacific region. This type of shrimp thrives in both saltwater and freshwater habitats. Still, it is one of the most common types of freshwater shrimp cultivated in farms, where cultivation approximately takes 110 days.

![udang lar](https://strapi.jala.tech/uploads/udang_lar_748af1cb3b.jpeg)

Monkey river prawns have a considerably large body, with lengths reaching up to 18 cm. They can withstand high salinity in water, and exhibit good resistance to diseases, contributing to high productivity.

### 3. Red Nose Shrimp
Another type of cultivated shrimp with high economic value is the red nose shrimp (_Caridina gracilirostris_). They can be found in various regions such as Japan, Fiji, Indonesia, and Madagascar, particularly in rivers and estuaries. 

![udang beras](https://strapi.jala.tech/uploads/udang_beras_1b3c12cfd4.jpeg)

These yellow-orange, slightly transparent shrimp are not only sold as food but also popular as aquarium decorations due to their attractive red rostrum. They also consume algae, which makes them beneficial for aquarium owners.

### 4. Freshwater Crayfish
Freshwater crayfish (_Astacoidea_) is another type of freshwater shrimp commonly cultivated in farms. This type of shrimp lives in swamps, lakes, and rivers of various continents. Due to its low stress level and disease susceptibility, as well as the ability to grow quickly, this type of freshwater shrimp can be cultivated easily in soil-based ponds. 

![lobster air tawar (sumber: pak tani digital)](https://strapi.jala.tech/uploads/lobster_air_tawar_26d04e85d6.jpeg)

Several kinds of popular freshwater crayfish for cultivation include the red claw crayfish, red swamp crayfish, which is smaller in size, and the common yabby, known for its high tolerance towards extreme weather conditions including drought.

### 5. Roshna Prawn
The final type of shrimp on the list is the roshna prawn (_Palaemon styliferus_). This type of shrimp is also commonly found in Indo-Pacific regions including Iraq, Bangladesh, and Hong Kong. These freshwater shrimp grow well in tropical areas.

Roshna prawns are pale yellow and slightly transparent with a cone-shaped head are popularly processed as ebi with a high market price which makes it attractive for farmers.

## Conclusion
Various types of freshwater shrimp that are popular for cultivation include:
- Giant freshwater prawn
- Monkey river prawn
- Red nose shrimp
- Slipper lobster
- Roshna prawn

Before starting cultivation, make sure to understand the characteristics of each shrimp type to choose the most suitable one for your business goals.
