The 1992 World Shrimp Farming report pegged Japan's production of farmed shrimp at 3,000 metric tons of live weight from 150 semi-intensive and intensive farms covering 400 hectares of ponds. In the Kagoshima area of Kyushu, farmers used large, round, land-based tanks to produce 15,000 to 20,000 kilograms per hectare. Later, semi-intensive farms appeared on Japan's southern islands-Okinawa, for example.
