Well done! Aqua culture alive and well in Thailand. My favorite type of farming.

So they grow prawns and fish, different ponds I assume? How many ponds do they run David MissFarmGirl? Ever considered introducing Yabbies David?

Sadly ... you don't get the pretty one to reply to your question!

Yes, Prawns and Fish ... SAME ponds. You can read about it here in the fish-and-shrimp-farm.

Because, they occupy different 'stratas' in a pond, they co-inhabit very easily.

As for introducing anything ... not my Farm ... I have very limited influence on anything that goes on there.

Have you ever tried to tell a Thai anything ... rolleyes.gif

Seriously though ... I'll try and subtly influence a few things, but I don't fancy my chances.

Just the way it is here. But, no difference if a Thai Fish Farmer tried to tell an Aussie cotton Farmer how to do it better.

Diseases cut back supply of shrimp plants [The Nation]


Many shrimp-processing plants in the East and South have temporarily reduced or

suspended production as shrimp disease has cut supplies. The higher cost of labour

and the baht's appreciation have also dampened the industry's growth this year.

Poj Aramwattanont, president of the Thai Frozen Foods Association, said the shrimp

industry was facing serious problems due to the lack of supply.


The disease began hitting Thai shrimp late last year.

The Fisheries Department is working on the problem, and it is

hoped that it will be resolved by the fourth quarter. As a result,

the association projects that the volume of Thai shrimp export will drop by 30-40

per cent this year.


However, export value will not decline as much because

producers have tried to add more value to their product. The value of shrimp export

this year is expected to drop by 10-20 per cent. According to Commerce Ministry

data, the value of shrimp export in the first four months dropped 19.3 per cent

year on year to US$643 million (Bt19.8 billion).

I briefly looked into the possibility of Yabby farming in Thailand. I was told that they would not be permitted in the country as they would attack young rice crops if they ever got out of the farms. Not sure how true this is but that is what i was told.

i'm sure i have seen red claw around somewhere but i think Yabby was meant to mean the oz yabbie -a burrowing heavy claw freshwater beast about 3 inches long.not sure of red claw habits.

but those long blue clawed ones commonly seen in thailand would be my recommendation as an addition to the existing Penaeidae. also some sort of surface zone plankton feeding fish.

perhaps also some carnivorous fish (eg local barrimumdi- gapong khao or more of the plaa bu shown being there already) in a net enclosure to let run amok when the birds are seen feeding on the prawn.

just suggestions take what you think you can use. too lazy to find images.
