FISHING

Bearing in mind programming and concentration of sowing, the shrimp can be fished approximately every 3 months.

When fished, each animal will weigh from 12 to 15 g and the number of shrimps per hectare could be in the region of 700 to 1.500 kilos, although this is a very variable quantity. There is intensive farming which produces more than 5.000 kg/hectare.

Fishing is usually done using a water pump or by opening the floodgate and placing a net at the exit.
