Abstract

The paper deals with the results of polyculture experiments with milkfish.
mullets, Sillago and prawns in salt water ponds and in a netpen in the coastal
waters of Palk Bay at Mandapam, during the period 1979-82. The growth of
mullet and Sillago was better in the netpen than in the pond, whereas milkfish
showed better growth in the pond. Significant differences in production from fertilized
and unfertilized ponds have not been noticed, the result of which is attributed
to poor soil conditions of the farm.
