Tiny Shrimps in Giant Ponds
Hi shrimp friends,
Hello ! I finally bought the Taiwan book I saw weeks ago. I've only read a few pages. It's so interesting to see how Taiwan people rear cherry shrimps in a commercial way. There are photos in addition to words. Wow, it turns out that the shrimps are kept outdoor in ponds and each pond is as big as half a standard swimming pool !! The workers (human beings) work inside the ponds and the water level is up to their chest level !
They use underground water to keep the cherries. They writer says that it can stablize the water temperature.
Really amazing. Will keep you all informed whenever I see anything interesting in this book

I just hope the RCS know to get out of the way. I wonder how the workers get them off of them when they leave the pond (Spray themselves with water ).How do they keep from stepping on them!?
That makes sense, as beckypyyeung said "They use underground water to keep the cherries".It would be like a small stream running into and out of a small pond.

Glad to see that so many shrimp friends are interested in my book report Here is some more information about your questions.
The writer didn't mention filters. It only reads :
(1) Get regular water change with underground water......
(2) Clear the aquatic plant every morning so that the plant can't occupy over 50% of the pond space......
(3) Giant pumps are used......
(4) These pools are situated in the south part of Taiwan, a hot area. A giant net is hanging over the pools so as to reduce the temperature for both shrimps and workers......
I don't know how the workers avoid stepping on the shrimps. I can only see that they're wearing plastic-like outfit. I had never imagined these tiny creatures can be produced like this. That's really Mass Production. Amazing

Yes thank you very much for that!
I think that by "under-ground water" they mean well water, which makes sense because it does not need any special treatment (i.e dechlorination). And these "giant pumps" must be water pumps that pump well water into the pond and are also used for the "regular water changes". Otherwise WCs would be a PITA! So my guess is that with these regular water changes they don't need a filter ...
That is my understanding of the information you gave us.
