Fresh water prawn hatchery - Site selection

Unit 9 - Hatcheries

Selection of a suitable site is one of the most important factors for the establishment of a prawn hatchery. Large scale commercial prawn hatcheries require coastal sites having adequate supply of sea water and fresh water free from pollutants. The site should be amenable for provision of infrastructural facilities such as availability of electricity, accessibility etc. Backyard hatchery can be established at any place where good quality of freshwater is available along with either concentrated brine solution or artificial sea water.
