This video was filmed in a shrimp farm located along Port Said-Damietta road (Egypt)

The video shows the partial harvest of the Indian white shrimp (Penaeus indicus). Some farmers adopt the partial harvest mainly for marketing purpose. In this system, quantities of shrimp of target size are frequently harvested according to market demands. This system is preferred in relatively large ponds in which shrimp of the required size are trapped in the circular netting facility to be scoped as shown in the video. The target size depends on the mesh size of the nettings. The partial harvest also helps in the cash flow of the farm.
