Abstract

Polyculture of Penaeus monodon, along with freshwater carps, mullets and
milk fish, was undertaken in a rain-fed pond to study the growth and survival in
freshwater conditions in coastal areas. In two consecutive experiments during 1978
and 1979 the prawns showed relatively faster growth, attaining 60-65 g in 4
months and 70-80 g in 7-8 months of culture. However, survival of the prawns
was poor, maximum being 34.6%.
