All of the shrimp farmers in my neighborhood use a system to create the lazy river effect, most of their systems employ a series of paddles placed at intervuls around a square or rectangular pond, somewhere between 1/2 and 2 acres. They fertilize and feed to the point of pollution, but boy, do they turn out the shrimp. The more modern ones, line the pond and recirculate the water, filtering out the pollutients. The fish and crab farmers use the same systems. It appears that they are able to feed and fertilize to maximize growth. However, they are only working on one age group of animal and will cull the entire group at the end of the growing season.
But, Bruce I don't know if this would fit into your $150 a month allowance.
I would like to try a single species, male only maybe 2000 to start and see what would happen at the 10 year mark.
