MBW look-back intelligence
Robust look-back logic searches backwards for the latest valid non-zero MBW, preventing broken growth curves and faulty biomass calculations from incomplete sampling records.

OPERATIONAL REALITY
Precision Pond Management
Without the Chaos
How standardizing sampling & growth analytics protects pond biomass, feed efficiency, and crop margins.
The Operational Challenge
Biomass guesswork leads to feed waste or stunted growth
Shrimp grow underwater out of direct sight. Sampling errors, fragmented notebook records, and naive single-point weight estimates create inaccurate biomass projections. Underestimating biomass leads to underfeeding and stunted growth; overestimating biomass wastes expensive feed, degrades pond bottoms, and destroys production margins.
The Shrimply Solution
Intelligent biological calculations and growth curves
Shrimply provides robust sampling workflows with intelligent look-back algorithms, automatic ADG calculation from stocking to sampling or between consecutive samplings, cumulative harvest deductions, and growth-curve benchmarking against DOC targets.
CORE CAPABILITIES
Engineered for Precision.
Built for Farm Teams.
Real-time tools designed specifically for intensive and semi-intensive vannamei farm operations.
Automated Average Daily Gain (ADG)
Automatically computes ADG using verified days elapsed between consecutive samplings or from stocking weight, giving real-time growth velocity alerts.
Dynamic biomass & population calculation
Calculates live biomass integrating initial stocking, cumulative recorded mortality, and partial harvests: Population = (Initial Stock - Mortality) - Harvested.
DOC growth curve benchmarking
Compare actual pond MBW trajectories against standard vannamei growth benchmarks across every day of culture (DOC) to spot deviations early.
Size uniformity & grade distribution
Record sample size spreads and weight variations to identify slow-growth sub-populations, moulting issues, or disease symptoms before they escalate.
Harvest forecasting & buyer readiness
Project future harvest weights and target DOC dates to negotiate premium buyer prices in advance and plan pond turnaround schedules.

Instant Metric Computation
Enter count and weight into Shrimply on mobile; MBW, population count, and total pond biomass update instantaneously.
STEP 0203
Analyze Growth Velocity (ADG)
Shrimply calculates ADG against the previous valid sampling record and benchmarks progress against historical cycle performance.
STEP 0304
Update Feed & Plan Harvest
Daily feed allocations automatically calibrate to updated biomass; harvest projections update days-to-target market size.

OPERATIONAL CHECKLIST
What this software helps your farm control
- Perform sampling during cool early morning hours to minimize shrimp stress and prevent muscle cramping.
- Sample from multiple pond locations (edges, corners, and feeding areas) to avoid size bias.
- Verify cast net mesh size and sample at least 100–150 shrimp per pond for statistical accuracy.
- Ensure sampling weight records never trigger inventory deductions—sampling is biological observation only.
- Cross-reference sudden ADG declines with recent water quality logs and feed tray clearance.
QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Frequently Asked Questions
About Sampling & Growth Analytics
Practical answers for shrimp farm operators and production managers.
How does Shrimply handle missing or zero MBW entries?
Shrimply incorporates biological look-back algorithms. If the latest record has missing or zero MBW, the system searches backwards for the latest valid non-zero weight, preventing distorted growth curves and inaccurate feed allocations.
How is Average Daily Gain (ADG) calculated?
If 2 or more sampling records exist: ADG = (latest MBW - previous MBW) / days between samplings. If only 1 sampling exists: ADG = (latest MBW - initial weight) / days elapsed since stocking.
Does sampling reduce feed inventory in Shrimply?
Absolutely not. Under Shrimply biological engineering rules, sampling is strictly an observational record. Feed inventory is deducted only through explicit feeding activity logs.
How does Shrimply account for partial harvests?
Shrimply tracks cumulative partial harvests and deducts both harvested head count and biomass from active pond population: Population = (Initial Stock - Total Mortality) - Total Harvested.
