The supervisors provided direct guidance in the field, including sample collection practices, water quality observation, disease symptom identification, and discussions on efficient and sustainable production strategies.
During the activity, students showed enthusiasm in participating in each practice session. They had the opportunity to interact directly with a professionally managed shrimp production unit at CV.
