www.roundtankfarm.com was created by David Kawahigashi of  Vannamei 101 (www.vannamei101.com) 

Why roundtankfarms.com?

As this new trend of round-tank farms has proven to be a viable alternative to the traditional earthen or HDPE lined pond system, I have decided to develop a separate website (from www.vannamei101.com) that is dedicated to the development and operation of round-tank, super intensive farms.

Training opportunities for round-tank farms

Vannamei 101 has been providing training courses/tours of shrimp farms and hatcheries in countries such as Indonesia, Vietnam and Thailand since 2007.  Training courses specific to the round-tank farm system would be conducted in Vietnam.  

Training course description

• We normally organize groups of 5-10 participants per training course over a 3-4 day period.  

• The training course includes site visits to intensive farms and hatcheries (in Vietnam) as well as classroom instruction to go over the operating procedures in more detail.

• Cost of the training course is approximately $400. USD per person per day and includes hotel, meals, ground transportation and translators.  

• A detailed schedule of each day's activities is provided prior to the start of the training course.  During the training course, we shall cover all aspects of design, materials, equipment, and construction as well as the operation of this intensive, multi-phase round tank model.
