Shrimp count per pound revisited

Randy Getchey nice....what did it weigh?

F&T Water Solutions
F&T Water Solutions That one was 29 grams and they ranged from 16-49 grams. We have increased the feed and turned up the water treatment exchange to allow our smaller guys to catch up. We want an average of 22.7 grams each or approximetely 20 per lb.

16 gram shrimp are 28 shrimp to the pound.

This is a study from 2015 using 80% survival with a less efficient chemical based biofloc system.

Profitability of Indoor Production of Pacific White Shrimp
(Litopenaeus vannamei): A Case Study of the Indiana Industry

Indoor production of Pacific White shrimp is profitable 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.
