Conclusions Indoor production of Pacific White shrimp is profit-able if they are grown to bigger sizes of at least “26/30” count. In spite of pressures on farmers to sell smaller size count due to demand, farmers will be better off allowing the shrimp to grow into bigger sizes before selling. This is because given the range of current industry selling prices, the additional value of weight gain for large shrimp is more than the additional cost incurred in producing it. The returns on growing shrimp to larger sizes far outweigh the cost of producing them.If farmers want to sell shrimp due to high demand, they can consider stocking larger PL of about 3g – 4g to obtain larger shrimp within a shorter rearing period. A 3g – 4g PL will cost about twice that of 1.3g but the returns will be more than the additional cost.Though small size shrimp takes relatively less time to reach market size and thus have a high turnover, the relative value of a unit weight at harvest is generally less than the cost of production. Note that the major operational costs as shown in Table 2 are the cost of PL, feed, hired labor and loan repayment. The high turn-over involves more production and requires more resources, and therefore higher cost.High survival (low mortality) during the shrimp production process is very crucial to the profitability of the shrimp business. Good and efficient farm manage-ment practices are needed to minimize mortality.Due to the relatively high cost of indoor production of Pacific White shrimp, marketing strategies are essen-tial to obtain premiums to assure profitability.
