Vannamei shrimp

Nowadays, the Vannamei shrimp is farmed as a breeding species in numerous parts of the world. Also, it is the most popular type in Iran’s shrimp market. Considering the capacity to cultivate this shrimp in non-dense, semi-dense, thick and ultra-dense ways, this shrimp has the capacity to live in both brackish and brackish water. For this reason, a wide extend of topographical regions have the capacity to develop this species. Nowadays, most producers of this shrimp are in central and south American nations.
The normal living space of this shrimp is the eastern parts of the Atlantic Sea, the coast of Mexico, and the coastline of southern and central nations up to the coast of Peru. Normally, Vannamei chooses regions for living that have a temperature over 20 degrees all through the year. In common, the farming of this shrimp is within the waters around tropical zones​​​​​​​

Vannamei shrimps are graded based on the land they are farmed. The lighter the color of the Vannamei shrimp, the higher the quality or the grade is. A1 grade is the best quality of vanami shrimps and A5 is the lowest grade or quality. Wholesale vannamei shrimps with A1 grade are often sold to the European Union countries and Russia. The only type of shrimps that are known as farmed shrimps and produced in large volumes all over the world are the vannamei shrimps

Shrimp production in Iran is over 100,000 tons per year and 90% of shrimps are exported. By using the mechanization system such as compaction methods, assigning smaller farms (about one to two hectares), and harvesting shrimp twice a year, we will see Iran’s production of shrimp doubled in the future. Shrimp harvest starts from the beginning of September and continues until November. In Iran, 4 provinces in the south, including Bushehr, Sistan and Baluchestan, Hormozgan and Khuzestan, and Golestan province in the north, produce farmed shrimps. Aquaculture farmers use this type of shrimp, because Vannamei shrimp has a high resistance to diseases and gain weight in a short time. As the most important shrimp production hub in Iran, Bushehr has entered the third decade of shrimp farming and with the cultivation of 50,000 tons of shrimp per year, it is the leading producer of shrimp farming in the country.​​​​​​​
