Abstract

Sediment characteristics such as texture, temperature, pH, nitrogen, organic
carbon and benthic biomass were monitored for a period of two years covering
four cropping durations in a low saline confined pond of Ganjam district in Orissa
which was used for monoculture of tiger shrimp, Penaeus monodon in an extensive
manner. These parameters were correlated with the periodic growth of Penaeus
monodon Fabricius during the culture period. Significant correlations were
recorded among several parameters such as sediment temperature and pH,
nitrogen, and benthic biomass as well as sediment pH and benthic biomass
during premonsoon crops. It was observed that parameters like sediment
temperature, sediment pH and benthic biomass had influenced the growth of
tiger shrimp during both the cropping seasons. But sediment nitrogen was
significantly correlated with the growth of shrimp during premonsoon season
