The culture of shrimps received maximum importance due to its unique taste, high nutritive value
and persistent demand in world market. In the present study an attempt has been made to culture the giant tiger
shrimp, Penaeus monodon in ten ponds each with 0.5 ha near Mahendrapalli village of Nagai district in Tamil
Nadu, India. In 5 ponds the seeds were stocked in high stocking density (15/ m2) and remaining 5 ponds in low
stoking density (8 / m2). In both the cases, the Cyclop-eeze feed was mixed with Cp feed and provided to the
seeds and survival was calculated and compared. The salinity of the ten ponds was ranging between 10-26 ppt
and pH was 7.7 to 8.4. Minimum 3.3 ppm dissolved oxygen and maximum 4.2 ppm was recorded during the
culture period. The temperature was ranging between 25 to 31ºC and the transparency was 25 to 45 cm.
Harvesting was done in low density ponds (G1,G2,G3,G4&G5) at DOC 120 &121 and high density ponds
(H1,H2,H3,H4&H5) it was harvested at DOC (Days of culture) 140 and 141. Average body weights of the low
density ponds were 36.5 g and high density ponds were 27.2 g. Highest survival (97 %) was recorded in low
density ponds and the lowest survival was (92 %) recorded in high density ponds. Maximum production was
reported in low density ponds (1,416 Kg / 36.5 g / 121doc) and minimum production was observed in high
density ponds (1,877 kg / 27.2 g / 141 doc). The maximum amount of feed was consumed by the shrimps in
high density ponds (3,190) and minimum was in low density ponds (1,840). So the FCR (Food conversion ratio)
for low density ponds were 1.3 and high density ponds were 1.7. Maximum net profit was obtained from low
density ponds (Rs. 1, 92,480) and minimum was in high density ponds (Rs. 68,416). so it is confirmed that
8/m2 is an ideal stocking density for the culture of P. monodon as evidenced from the high net profit (Rs. 1,
92,480). To get this profit, proper nursery stocking, feeding with Cyclop-eeze feed, proper water quality
management and feed management is essential.
