Feeding shrimp efficiently to avoid waste is crucial. The cost of feed in shrimp farming typically accounts for 50% of total investment costs, and managing feed still needs improvement. Without proper attention and calculations, organic waste can occur, and excess feed accumulation can cause over 60% of issues in shrimp ponds. If the feed conversion ratio (FCR) is 1:1, then for every 100 kg of feed added to the pond, there will be up to 70 kg of waste (excess feed, shrimp waste, etc.). Accumulated
