Abstract

Indian pompano (Trachinotus mookalee) is a marine fish, considered to be one of the good candidate species for coastal aquaculture and suitable for species diversification.The fish found to be suitable for farming in coastal pond at variable densities. Among, different farming systems, the coastal pond farming practicecan utilize,wet and saline soils and degraded and unutilized lands. Also,the unusedcoastal ponds(shrimp) can be reused for new culture operation or in crop rotation with shrimp. Understanding the culture potential of the species, the pond culture technology was developed under the All India Network Project on Mariculture (AINP- Mariculture). The standardized package of practices for the coastal pond farming method for Indian pompano is given below. Various steps involved in the culture method are pond preparation, water treatment, nursery rearing, grow-out culture and harvesting
