Iranian Gov’t Plans to Implement Supportive Plans for Shrimp Farmers
Shrimp farms can assess and review the plan by sending it to the office of the National Program for the Development of Greenhouse and Fishery Towns.
These technology packages include the creation of a nursery system, mechanization of farms with modern feeding and aeration equipment, redesigning, miniaturization and lining of farms, intelligentization of farms, and creation of central drainage system and shrimp farms.
If the necessary conditions are met, including completeness of the company's licenses, the company's previous acts to invest, the company's investment plan to implement the technology packages in the farm and supply its products or services from knowledge-based companies, it will benefit from the support of the Iranian Vice-Presidency for Science, Technology and Knowledge-Based Economy.
In a relevant development in June, experts at a knowledge-based company based in the Science and Technology Park of Markazi Province in Iran had also managed to design and produce a shrimp larva counting machine using locally developed know-how and technology.
“Our product, the shrimp larva counting machine, is considered as one of the important needs of the fisheries industry. This product had been requested by the shrimp farmers to the fisheries organization for years,” said Farzin Nadi, the Managing Director of Pishtaz Pardezesh Saray Jonoub Rooz, knowledge-based company told ANA in an interview.
“Due to the challenges and complexities of this device as well as the high prices of its foreign-made counterparts, its domestic model was designed and produced by our company's experts,” he added.
He added that because in the fishery market, buying and selling shrimp larvae is done through counting the number of larvae, therefore counting the larvae is of great importance.
Nadi also said that knowing the number of available aquatics is one of the most important information that a shrimp and aquatic animals breeder should have access to, because it is based on that the amount of feeding, control of water parameters, payment of purchase and sale fees is determined.
He added that their locally-made machine is much more reasonably priced than the foreign-made imported counterparts.
