    If you are in the US, I highly recommend that you check out the US Marine Shrimp Farming Program <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.usmsfp.org/">http://www.usmsfp.org/</a><!-- m --> -- or even if you are not in the US, their resources are invaluable

    Also check out the free resources over at ShrimpNews.com <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.shrimpnews.com/freereportspag..">http://www.shrimpnews.com/freereportspag..</a><!-- m -->. - they have some basic information about shrimp farming

    In the Philippines, check with the Dept of Agriculture's Bureau of Fisheries how you can get in touch with the Philippine Fisheries and Aquaculture Board - they are the ones who offer seminars and trainings on the shrimp industry business.

    I suggest you first learn about the industry particularly the challenges it faces and see if you have adequate resources and market you can tap to really start a shrimp farming business
