The farm extends over 0.78 hectare and has a single wooden sluice gate. Culture of Penaeus indicus, P. Monodon, Metapenaeus monoceros and M. Dobsoni was initiated in January and continued up to may 1979. The traditional practice of trapping and holding was followed in stocking the farm. In all, 375 kg of prawns valued at Rs. 10,470.00 !were harvested of which. 52% comprised P. indicus and P. monodon. A profit of Rs. 7,770.00 was earned by the entrepreneur after meeting expenditure on the farm. An overall review of the economics of prawn culture in the area is given.
