  3. Lecture 1: Farm Site Selection Objectives: • Proper approach to site selection: conceptualization • “Good” vs. “bad” information • Water (part 1): quality criteria, source, capacity, tidal issues • Soil (part 2): texture, chemical properties • Vegetation, climatic, other determinants • Evaluation process (part 3)

  4. Conceptualizing the Site • WHAT WENT WRONG? • IMPROPER SITE SELECTION • INAPPROPRIATE ENGINEERING • INADEQUATE FINANCING • INEFFECTIVE HUSBANDRY

  5. SITE SELECTION IS CRITICAL:IT CAN DETERMINE: • LOAN POTENTIAL • ENGINEERING LAYOUT/DESIGNS • LEVEL OF EQUIPMENT REDUNDANCY • PRODUCTION METHODOLOGY • BUSINESS STRATEGY • MARKETING/SALES STRATEGY

  6. WHY "BAD" SITES ARE SELECTEDALL THE WRONG REASONS! • "THE LAND PRICE WAS A BARGAIN!“ • "THE GOVERNMENT WUS JUS’ GIVIN’ IT AWAY!“ • "HEY, IT WAS NEAR THE WATER!“ • “...BUT THERE WERE OTHER FARMERS NEARBY.“ • "NOBODY ELSE WANTED IT!"

  7. CONCEPTUALIZE THE SITE:WHAT CONSTITUTES A SITE? • A PIECE OF LAND? COAST? COUNTRY? • A SPECIFIC PROFIT CENTER? • A SPECIFIC PRODUCT? • SOCIAL OR ENVIRONMENTAL MISSION?

  8. ASSUMPTIONS • STRANGER IN A STRANGE LAND • PLAN TO UTILIZE EVERY INCENTIVE • STRIVING FOR INTEGRATION VERTICAL

  9. DISCLAIMERS • NO SITE IS TYPICAL • NO PROJECT IS ENTIRELY PREDICTABLE • NO GOVERNMENT IS ENTIRELY ACCOMODATING • MONEY DOES NOT GROW ON TREES • THERE ARE NO GUARANTEES!!!

  10. Hatchery Sanitation • Purpose 1: prevent foreign agents from entering hatchery (What does this control?) • Purpose 2: limits disease spread to tank of origin (doesn’t run from tank to tank, etc.

  11. Is clear water clean??

  12. Pick a good site!!!

  13. Hawaiian Hatcheries, Phillipines

  14. Typical Well Abstraction Perforated well screen (500 µM), 4 in. PVC Discharge to hatchery 2 in. PVC Perforated well screen (250 µM) high tide 2-3 hp self-priming/cooling centrifugal pump Sealed concrete pump house low tide hydrologic zone

  15. Seawater Abstraction: well-point Ocean bottom 6-8 ft sand substrate 24 in. perforated pipe Pea gravel Microscreen- 1mm

  16. Seawater Abstraction:open ocean intake

  17. Hatchery Sanitation

  18. Preventive Guidelines • Reduces vertically-transmitted pathogens: • 1) import only eggs, never juveniles/adults • 2) eggs should be from SPF/high health facilities • 3) wild individuals should be prohibited or all water, etc. needs to be disinfected • 4) disinfect all eggs prior to stocking hatching containers (also disinfect/destroy all shipping containers) • chemicals: iodophores (Argentyne) 100 ppm for 10-15 min

  19. Guidelines for Limiting Spread • Disinfect all hatchery and personal equipment after or between use (equipment must be clean prior to disinfection) • sports fishermen or farmers should never be allowed near facility (political issue) • transfer/shipping equipment, vehicles must all be disinfected whenever leaving grounds • do not overlook any possible source of contamination • proper hatchery design limits spread

  20. Biosecurity: General Issues • Definition: the sum of all procedures in place to protect shrimp from contracting, carrying and spreading diseases • critical to identify all known and potential vectors • critical: use only seed from SPF or high-health facilities • stocks monitored periodically for disease using rapid methodologies • infection of facility = shut-down, complete disinfection (chlorine gas, formaldehyde, etc.)

  21. Biosecurity: General Issues • Other potential disease sources: incoming water • facility should be isolated from other farms, processing plants, capture fisheries • water should be recycled • replacement water disinfected by chlorine, ozone, ultraviolet light • avoid vectors: gulls, dogs, crabs, etc. • feeds ( prepared vs. raw)

  22. Part 2. Biosecurity • Recently, fish/shrimp disease agents and associated problems have spread from foreign countries to the U.S. • major efforts established defense against disease • due to severity of issue, parallel efforts were undertaken to design production systems to exclude diseases • such systems are called “biosecure” • key issue: zero water exchange
