Abstract
The experiment is the first of its kind in Pondicherry state. A natural small pond with muddy bottom formed by tidal effect of thesea (Coramandal Coast) was selected for an experiment in commercial prawn culture. Initially natural stocking was carried out by letting in water from the river at high tide through the sluice gate provided for the pond and stocked the seeds in the pond.Cultures were maintained at 30°C and 31 ppt respectively for 80 days.330 kg of prawns , 200 kg of fishes and 50 kg of crabs were obtained by the final harvesting, realising a netprofit of Rs. 10,860/- from natural as will as intensive stocking.The encouraging results would show that there is considerable scope for expansion of prawn culture in this area.
