Diversity in Shrimp and Fish Farming
Combining Diverse Farming Models
If farmers only focus on farming shrimp, their income is solely dependent on shrimp. In case of an unexpected disease outbreak, the losses can be significant. However, if shrimp farming is combined with other species, such as crabs, fish, or eels, the income sources diversify. One comes from shrimp, and the other from the additional species. In case shrimp encounter diseases, the income from fish, crabs, or eels can still help mitigate the financial losses.
Typically, the additional species farmed are tilapia or barramundi, as these fish are highly adaptable and have strong resistance.

Cost-Saving through Combination
By combining shrimp farming with other species, farmers can save in various ways:
- Water Conservation: It reduces the need for water changes, thus cutting down on labor and operational costs.
- Feed Efficiency: Wastewater and organic waste from shrimp ponds can be used as nutrients for crops and other species like fish, reducing the need for additional feed.
- Environmetal Benefits: It helps maintain a sustainable environment by preventing wastewater discharge that could lead to pollution.
By confidently applying parallel farming models, farmers can manage risks from afar, maintain peace of mind, and focus on other productive tasks more efficiently.
