The present guidelines for adoption of effluent treatment system are general and suitable modifications may have to be made by the farmers while adopting them. By introducing relatively simple mitigating measures like waste water treatment ponds or stabilization ponds at the farm level by the individual farmer and by the farmers’ associations/groups in an area where the farm are clustered together, will help to a large extent in development of sustainable shrimp farming, without causing adverse impact to the environment and the ecosystem.
