Using the stock model to predict the dynamics of production showed that the highest yields would be obtained by employing the longest cultivation periods (13 weeks in winter and 20 weeks in summer). These cultivation periods were used to calculate yields. The highest productions (winter, 6900 kg ha−1; summer, 12,600 kg ha−1) were predicted using 60 postlarvae m−2, small ponds (2 ha), and starting aeration in the first week of cultivation (Fig. 3); while the lowest yields were predicted using 40 postlarvae m−2, large ponds (8 ha), and delaying the start of aeration until the fifth week of cultivation (winter, 2600 kg ha−1; summer, 6000 kg ha−1). Under these conditions, production is predicted to be 38% in winter and 48% in summer of the highest predicted yields.
