Shrimps are invertebrates, and like the majority of invertebrates, they have an exoskeleton (a skeleton on the outside) to protect themselves. Molting is when a shrimp leaves its tight-fitting exoskeleton in order to start growing a new, larger one to live in.
In healthy conditions, an adult shrimp will molt every 3 to 4 weeks, but younger shrimp will molt more often due how to fast they grow, perhaps every 1 or 2 weeks.

For the molt to take place properly, the following guidelines are suggested:
โจ Check which molt phase the shrimp are at through regular pond sampling;
โจ Keep a register of molts, which may help in better anticipating the ensuing molts;
โจ Adjust the amount of feed distributed depending on the molt stage;

โจ The use of osmoregulators can help reduce the extent of osmotic shock experienced by the shrimp, especially in farms in which the salinity level is low or high, or where the water exchange is limited.
