TipTopp Success Story – Calica Camaronera del Litoral, Ecuador
About
the farmer
At Calica Camaronera del Litoral, the production management team oversees a grow-out farm for Penaeus Vannamei. Like many shrimp farmers, they face challenges with water quality, feed efficiency, and maintaining healthy, high-survival ponds.
Challenges Before TipTopp
Before using TipTopp Pond, the farm experienced:
- Low oxygen levels in ponds, stressing shrimp and affecting growth.
- High organic matter accumulation, impacting water quality and increasing maintenance needs.
- Poor feed conversion ratios (FCR), resulting in higher production costs and inefficiency.
These issues made it difficult to achieve consistent growth and survival rates, and the farm sought a solution to stabilize pond conditions while optimizing production.
The Solution: TipTopp Pond
After introducing TipTopp Pond into their routine, the team noticed clear improvements:
- Oxygen levels increased, creating a healthier environment for shrimp.
- Organic matter levels decreased, keeping ponds cleaner and easier to manage.
- Feed conversion ratios improved, helping reduce costs and optimize feeding efficiency.
Easy to Use and Efficient
The team emphasized the product’s practicality:
“TipTopp Pond is simple to use and does not require much activation time, which saves labor time.”
This ease of use made it easy to integrate TipTopp into daily pond management without disrupting operations.
Recommendation to Other Farmers
The team strongly recommends TipTopp Pond for aquaculture professionals:
“Every aquaculturist aims to optimize production, and TipTopp Pond has significantly contributed to improving survival rates, enhancing feed conversion ratios, and promoting growth in our ponds.”
Healthier Ponds, Better Production
By using TipTopp Pond, Calica Camaronera del Litoral has successfully stabilized oxygen levels, reduced organic matter, and improved feed efficiency. These improvements have directly supported higher survival rates, better growth, and overall more sustainable shrimp farming practices in their grow-out ponds.
