Abstract

Specific growth rate of white prawn Penaeus indicus was monitored in a miniature
modular system. As the size of the module increased, reduction in ammonia
generation could be seen. Similar trend was also noticed with respect to organic
load. Reduction in daily differential in oxygen as the module size increased, resulted
in favourable specific growth rate in larger modules. The cumulative impact of
ammonia, organic load (COD) and hydrogen sulphide was well indicated in specific
growth rate. Surface area also appeared to play positive role on specific growth
rate. Thus this modular system can serve as a new means to shrimp farming,
striking a balance between ecological conservation and economic considerations
