The Story of Tarakan Black Tiger Shrimp

Origin and Farming Environment

Tarakan, a small island in North Kalimantan, boasts remarkable natural wealth and an ideal environment for shrimp farming. Traditional ponds in Tarakan rely on natural processes to maintain water quality and shrimp habitats. Black Tiger shrimp from Tarakan thrive in ecosystems rich in natural nutrients, generated through photosynthesis within the ponds. This farming method ensures that shrimp are fed naturally, resulting in a more natural taste and tender texture (Bonanza Pratama Abadi) (PT Sumber Kalimantan Abadi).
