Common Mistakes to Avoid
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.
