Previous to prawn farming the majority of respondents (63%)
participated in some type of agricultural activity such as rice or black
tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) culture. Formal training in prawn
culture was received by only 19% of interviewees and usually consisted
of a day long course; one farmer had two years of training. Training
was often affiliated with the DOF, but also Kasetsart University,
Charoen Pokphand (CP-a feed and seed supplier), or a local prawn
culture association. Five of the farmers surveyed in Nakhonsithammarat were among a group of 15 who had been trained in prawn
culture by DOF for 8 months prior to the survey. They had been
provided with free feed and seed to stimulate their prawn business.
Their previous activities in brackishwater culture had been banned
inshore after a dam had been built on the Chaingyai River in 2004 to
separate salt from freshwater, especially in the dry season. This was
done to improve freshwater production of rice, fish, and prawns.
