Ferrocement tank for sugpo maturation
Share
Abstract
A practical, easy, and economical method of constructing ferrocement tanks highly suitable for sugpo (Penaeus monodon) maturation has been developed. The tank incorporates a cylindrical portion and an auxiliary rectangular portion and can accommodate 80 adult prawns at a 1:1 male-to-female ratio. Design considerations are aimed at ease of use and construction. A flowthrough water supply system, plus an oxygenation and filter system, are included.
