Abstract

Experiments were carried out to assess the growth of tiger shrimp (Penaeus
monodon) and carps under polyculture practice particularly in hardwater seasonal
ponds. The growth of tiger shrimp and carps were recorded for a period
of 110 and 180 days respectively during December, 2002 to May, 2003. The
growth rate of Penaeus monodon and carps under polyculture practice were
32g and 298g respectively. The production of shrimp and carps registered under
polyculture practice were 25.750 kg/0.1 ha/110 days (a low stocking density
of 1.5 nos/m2 ) and 135.450 kg/0.1 ha/180 days respectively.
