The photos were photographed in a commercial shrimp farm in Thailand. You may see the action of checking the feeding activity of shrimp and whether the feed placed in the feeding tray shown in the photo was totally consumed or if there is a left-over feed. While checking the status of feed consumption, the overall condition of shrimp is observed. It may worth mentioning that only a small portion of the feed is placed in the feeding tray for tracing purpose while the feed bulk is spread over the pond bottom. One may notice the heavy aeration in the pond indicating the high productivity that ranges from 12-15 tons of shrimp/hectar.
