Abstract

In constant growth, shrimp farming has been expanding more and more in the interior of the states. Therefore, there was a need to obtain information in order to characterize the production of marine shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) in the municipality of Mulungu - PB, obtaining data on management, production flow and its impact on job creation. A field survey was carried out with 12 producers in the municipality, in which a previously elaborated questionnaire was applied to collect data. Data were organized for comparisons and analyzes using the Excel program, presented in tables and graphs. Several similarities were found on the properties, such as the fact that all producers have access to technical assistance through a Zootechnician specialized in the area, acquire post-larvae free of disease from specialized laboratories, have an environmental license, perform biometrics and have shrimp farming as an activity main. Data on stocking densities, number of employees and water depth of the nurseries are quite diversified, considering that the properties have different areas and numbers of nurseries. We can also note that most shrimp farmers use ponds for decanting effluents, use probiotics for water and soil treatment and carry out analysis of water parameters. Concluding that well defined data are very important to be able to characterize production, it is concluded that together with constant growth, leverage productivity through the help of government benefit programs or through financing.
