Abstract

The results of a semi-intensive culture of Penaeus indicus in five brackish
water ponds of low salinity (<15 ppt) are presented. The mean production was
2,557.2 kg/ha in about 115 days with an initial stocking density of 30 PL 20/
sq.m. A mean weight gain of 0.161 g/day, mean biomass increase of 2.1954
g/mVday and mean final weight of 18.356 g were realised in the present
fertilised, feed applied and paddle wheel aerated culture system. The
production, the weight gain per day, the biomass increase per day and the final
weight at harvest were considerably higher when compared to earlier reports
