| Summary: | The integration of a centrifugal extraction and pipeline transportation system to improve efficiency in shrimp harvesting management into closed-pond aquaculture systems represents a significant advancement in aquaculture technology. This study introduces and assesses the efficiency of the shrimp harvester compared to manual harvesting methods, examining key parameters such as shrimp harvester quality, shrimp harvester loss rates, and shrimp harvester speed. A particularly noteworthy aspect is the innovative transportation of shrimp through a pipeline, which enhances the transformative potential of this technology. Results indicate that the centrifugal shrimp harvester outperforms manual methods, achieving an impressive yield rate of 3338 kg/h with a minimal loss rate of 0.01%; the trend values for harvester capacity ranged from 0.501 to 1.884 tons of shrimp per hour at 240 rpm, 2.391 to 3.081 tons per hour at 270 rpm, and 3.338 to 3.816 tons per hour at 300 rpm. While this technology shows promise for increasing productivity and minimizing shrimp damage, further investigation is needed to evaluate its economic viability, including operational costs and labor expenses. The study highlights the transformative potential of the centrifugal shrimp harvester and emphasizes the need for ongoing research to ensure its practical application in real-world aquaculture settings. Overall, the centrifugal shrimp harvester is poised to revolutionize shrimp harvesting practices, contributing to more sustainable and efficient aquaculture production. |
