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).
