Takeaways

• 😀 Supandi is a shrimp farmer from Madura, Indonesia, who initially transitioned from a tobacco background to shrimp farming due to its promising prospects.
• 😀 He faced early failures in shrimp farming but persisted, learning from his mistakes and eventually achieving success by 2022.
• 😀 Supandi chose circular ponds for shrimp cultivation because they are cost-effective, require less maintenance, and can support higher stocking densities compared to traditional square ponds.
• 😀 The farming process involves several steps, including 15 days of pond preparation with natural feed, lime, and treatments before releasing the shrimp larvae (benur).
• 😀 Shrimp feeding is adjusted based on their hunger, with the goal being to feed them in a way that ensures they don't overeat or under-eat, and to keep the water quality optimal.
• 😀 Supandi uses a unique feeding system where he adjusts the frequency and amount of feed according to the shrimp's appetite, which is influenced by temperature and other factors.
• 😀 He emphasizes the importance of high-quality water for shrimp farming, mentioning that he had issues with polluted river water in the past, which led him to seek cleaner water sources near the ocean.
• 😀 Prevention of diseases like 'berak putih' (white feces disease) is critical in shrimp farming. Supandi uses prebiotics and garlic to prevent this common issue.
• 😀 He uses supercharge technology for oxygenation in the ponds, which is more energy-efficient compared to traditional aerators, saving costs on electricity.
• 😀 The shrimp farming business operates on cycles with three harvests per year, with market prices fluctuating depending on factors like holidays and supply-demand conditions.
• 😀 Supandi encourages aspiring shrimp farmers to first learn the necessary knowledge and avoid rushing into the business without proper understanding, stressing the importance of self-reflection and continuous learning.

How does Supandi manage the treatment of the water before introducing shrimp?

Supandi treats the water for 15 days before introducing the shrimp by using lime, chlorine, and natural feed. The treatment helps to prepare the pond for shrimp by ensuring the water quality is optimal.

What is Supandi's feeding system for his shrimp?

Supandi's feeding system is based on the specific needs of the shrimp. He adjusts feeding based on the shrimp's appetite, ensuring that food is provided when the shrimp are hungry and reducing it when they are not eating.

What is the key factor for the success of shrimp farming according to Supandi?

The key factor for success in shrimp farming, according to Supandi, is the quality of water. He emphasizes that the water should be clean and free from contamination, and he treats it with care before introducing it into the ponds.

What common diseases does Supandi face in shrimp farming, and how does he prevent them?

The most common disease Supandi faces is 'white feces' disease, which can lead to high mortality. He prevents this by providing early interventions such as probiotics and garlic, along with regular treatments to maintain water quality.

How does Supandi ensure the water quality in his shrimp ponds?

Supandi ensures good water quality by using water from the sea that is about 600 meters from the shore. He treats the water in a tank before introducing it into the ponds to ensure it is free from harmful contaminants.

What technological approach does Supandi use in his shrimp farming?

Supandi uses a 'supercharge' technology for water circulation in his round ponds. This system is energy-efficient and helps maintain high oxygen levels in the water, ensuring better shrimp growth.
