Pond Construction in Prawn Culture
The prawn growing ponds should make in the shape of square. The circle shape pond is useless. The best way for fishing is net square shape than the lengthy square shape. Like this kinds of pond should be less than 0.70m and more than 1.0m should be stand more than 0.50m. In the middle of pond connected ridges should be there and in this method we should see from the ridge of the upper base level the pond depth should be maximum 1.50m.
The ridges between the ponds breadth should be maximum 4.5m and the ridges height should be 1.5m state and the upper base level of ridges. If it is 1.5m it will be good. In the ridges of both sides the enough of slope should be present. If this slope will be more partly there is a continuation of dip ridge. The making of first ridge could be useful for more days.
The ponds in the water it will pass to flank by the ridge by the pond it will precipitious, evaporated and it leads to loss. To make the ridge strong we have to built the wall in between and by this we can stop the leakage of water. To make the ridge if the sand is used it should not be stand; slumping; and it leads to loss of water. The individual pudding will not be used. The best of mixing is agril. In this mixture pudding is in the ratio of 20-25, sediment in the ratio of 15-20, sand should be is in the ratio of 65-70. In the ridges of both sides in the turf the marbles should be rowed in the house sites we should see that it should be slanting. If it is needed we strike the nail in to the tree to grow and defending.
In the ridge upper base level, partly spread the soil. During rainy season while coming in the ridge it should helped out from slipping. In the ridge upper base level due to rain it will join to the water, it overflows from ridge in the way of ponds it will waste the ponds. It will lead the ponds into elevation. To obstruct this, in the upper base level of the ridge we have to make two edges from (5-10cm) height.
In ridge parts like a slope; pond base level, While, filtering the pond water it will easily fully flow like a slope. In this the water flow into the elevation part and we should see that the filter part should be in pit. The pond base level it will be loosen like mangrove fields and it will easy to capture the prawns.
If we planned to make a big farm, instead of using hoe to dig the pond we should carry on the work by using shovel.
1. The cost is low.
2. The work is done by easily and quickly.
3. The pond base level should be tight.
4. We can make the farm dam should be strong.
Like this kind of works, should give precedence to the hoe in management.
