The Importance Of Monitoring Shrimp Uniformity For Better Performance In The Production Cycle

Uniformity of size in shrimp culture is an indication of good farm management, contributing towards increased productivity, predictability, consistency, and also importantly, better prices at the point of sale. Assessment of uniformity involves looking at the coefficient of variation (CV); percentage of uniformity; and class distribution in terms of length and weight. These assessments can be performed manually as well as using artificial intelligence, as outlined in this article which bases its observations on data extracted from production results recorded by a high-efficiency farm in Brazil.
