King Kong shrimp and Penaeus vannamei each have their own advantages. Generally speaking, King Kong shrimp is less difficult to culture than Penaeus vannamei and has stronger disease resistance, while Penaeus vannamei has a higher yield. Specifically:

1. Breeding difficulty: King Kong shrimp is less difficult to breed. Compared with Penaeus vannamei, it has fewer diseases, stronger disease resistance, high temperature resistance and tolerance to tossing. Although Penaeus vannamei is prone to problems under high temperature and disease conditions, their yields are relatively high.

2. Yield and specifications: The yield of Penaeus vannamei is usually higher than that of King Kong shrimp, and the yield per mu can reach more than 3,000 kilograms. King Kong shrimps are generally farmed to about 200 heads, and the output per mu is about 1,500 kilograms.

In summary, the choice to culture King Kong shrimp or Penaeus vannamei needs to be decided based on specific breeding conditions, technical level and market demand. For first-time farmers, it is recommended to start with King Kong shrimp, which is less difficult to culture, gradually accumulate experience, and then consider trying other species such as Penaeus vannamei.
