Common Mistakes to Avoid

Ignoring mortality rate in production planning

Stock 15-30% more fingerlings than target harvest to account for mortality. Mortality varies: 5-10% in ponds, 2-5% in RAS, 15-30% in shrimp. Under-stocking leads to underutilized infrastructure.

Using best-case FCR in financial projections

Actual farm FCR is typically 10-20% worse than research-station results due to feed waste, water quality fluctuations, and sub-optimal feeding schedules. Use conservative FCR values for financial planning.

About Aquaculture Profit Model

Model the economics of aquaculture operations by calculating net profit from harvest revenue minus all production costs including feed, fingerlings, labor, energy, and infrastructure. Feed conversion ratio (FCR) is the primary driver of profitability in intensive aquaculture.
