Super Shrimp Hatchery (SSH) realized early the potential for
freshwater scampi aquaculture in India. SSH which is wholly
owned by Mr. Rajesh Khanna, was founded in 1999 as the first
fully advanced freshwater prawn hatchery operation in India.
Its operation base is in Mypadu village near Nellore town
of East Coast of Andhra Pradesh, .
SSH
currently operates 4 sales and service branches near farming
locations in Andhra Pradesh, 1 Nellore, 2 Ongole, 3 Bhimavaram
and 4. Kakinada.
The
larvae of tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) is also reared along
with freshwater prawn scampi seed (Macrobrachium rosenbergi).
Super Shrimp Hatchery is an aquaculture company specialized
in adopting sustainable, Eco-friendly, advanced nutrition
and biotechnological methods for breeding and rearing of premium
quality Macrobrachium rosenbergii (Fresh Water Prawn) seed.
The
seed is marketed primarily in Andhra Pradesh and also in several
other East and West coastal areas across India.
The
Company's vertically integrated approach towards its hatchery
and farmer's farm, uses selective breeding and strict environmental
control techniques to produce high health, disease free Scampi
post larvae primarily for sale to farmers stockings and occasionally
to other commercial hatcheries.
In its constant endeavors towards improving the quality of
its scampi seed, Super Shrimp Hatchery established an advanced
microbiology lab in the hatchery to monitor the bacterial
related problems.
In
1999, to produce high quality shrimp fries, SSH entered an
agreement with world renowned scampi larval nutrition company,
Bern Aqua BVBA, Holland (formerly known as Tesgofarm Aqua)
for providing nutrition formulations and feeds specific to
scampi. Above all, SSH imparting technology to other local
hatcheries.
Albeit, SSH is, first-of-its-kind hatchery to have many distinctive
competitive advantages over most of scampi hatcheries and
it enables the company to produce the scampi seed of high
quality for any particular customer or market. This concept
contributes positively to the company's bottom line as the
specially scampi seed producer contributing reduced mortality
rates, thus generating cost savings and higher margins to
farmers.
