Globally shrimp farming industry has faced several problems during last 2 decades and seriously challenged the sustainability of the industry. Important among them are:
- crop losses due to disease epidemics;
- decreasing market prices and reduced profitability;
- rejections of shrimps by importing countries due to food quality and safety issues.

Over the past few years better management practices or BMPs have been identified and developed on scientific basis to protect the environment, to improve the production and economic efficiencies with shrimp farming. These BMPs are also termed as good aquaculture practices. These practices are based on broader and widely accepted international principles for sustainable shrimp farming which is Junitanoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3586937671185544497.post-74965186510100500732009-09-14T13:24:00.009+07:002009-11-15T22:57:23.034+07:00Shrimp industry in Indonesia

Yield increased
Diseases prevented and controlled
Cost of production minimized by judicious use of farm inputs
Shrimps grown in healthy environment
Shrimps produced to meet the international market standards
No residues of pesticides, antibiotics and other banned chemicals
No harmful microorganisms
Traceability
To protect the environment

Remove the water from the pond
Dry the pond bottom
Remove the organic waste from pond bottom (soil with black colour and bad smell). And displace it in the ditch created on the embankment.
Apply hydrate lime (500 -1000 kg/ha) to the soil if soil is acidic.
Fill the water in the pond. Depth should be more than 80 cm in shallowest part of pond.
