What Are the Key Stages and Best Practices in Successfully Harvesting Shrimp from Farms?

**2. Understanding Harvest Timing**

Determining the optimal time for harvesting shrimp is critical. Farmers often monitor various factors, such as shrimp size, market demand, and water quality parameters, to decide when to harvest. Typically, shrimp reach marketable size (often considered to be around 15-20 grams) in about four to six months, depending on the farming practices and environmental conditions. Timing must balance maximizing yield while ensuring shrimp quality.
