Prawns Farming
- Thread starter kalpak
- Start date
Dear sir,
About 55 species of prawns occu r in India.
Out of these, II species of penaeid p rawns are
lis ted as su itable for cul tu re in the saltwater '
along the coastline (S ilas 1980). They are given
in Table 2. However, cons ide ring the total bioe- .
co nomic matrix of the penaeids, P. monodon, P.
indicus and P. semisu1catus emerge as the most
su itable species. Th eir b iological and cultivable
features are s hown in Table 3. Penaeus japonicus,
whi ch is also now reported to be available
in fair abundance along the northwest coast of
India could also be considered and cultured.
Table 2 Current and Candidate Culture Prawn Species
The new areas developed into prawn farms in
the states of Andhra Pradesh, Orissa, Tanlil
Nadu and KeraJa have reached better production
level of 500 to 2,000 kg/ha/crop of 3 to 5
months in semiintensive cultu re methods.
While the small farmers could achieve a production
rate of 500 to 1,000 kg/ha/crop, the
progressive farmers cou ld harvest 1.500 to
2,000 kg/ha/crop of 4-5 months. The highest
production of 7.500 kg/ha/crop was achieved
by M/ s Hindustan Lever Ltd. in the lower Sunderbans
in West Bengal. Recently in Tu ticorin
{Tamil Nadul. the Victory prawn farm has been
able to increase production to 8 tons {Po indicus)/
ha/crop with a stocking density of
5.000.000 seeds/ha.
Nutritionally balanced prawn feed is not
available in sufficient quantities in India. The
animal feed industry is in the process of developing
nutritionally balanced feeds for s ellliintensive
prawn farnling. S01l1e feed
manufacturers have partly succeeded in commercial
prawn feed manufacture and have been
marketing in the last two years. However, most
of their feeds are characterized by low food conversion
ratios
