The calculated annual pond yields (between 1,200 and 1,400 kg/ha) are superior to the common annual yields of Honduran shrimp farms.
ANDAH (1997) and Rosenberry (1998) reported farm yields of 850 kg/ha/year during the post Taura years (1997-98); however pond productivity declined in 1999 to 640 kg/ha/year as a consequence of the onset of WSSV (A. Zelaya, personal communication).
