Growth and production of pacific white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei (Boone, 1931) with different stocking densities in semi-intensive brackishwater liner ponds, Chennai, India: Technical report

Abstract

Pacific white shrimp (Penaeus vannamei) is one of the main fishery products in fisheries sector. It has suitable for farming, stable production, easy to stocking high density, and highly diseases resistance. Most of the farmers in India choose to cultivate vannamei shrimp. Moreover, there are still other advantages of vannamei shrimp, its euryhaline species. No proper research yet been recorded on the effect of stocking density in survival rate and growth performance of L. vannamei. The aim of this report was to evaluate the growth, survival, and production performance of white shrimp (P. vannamei) in brackishwater liner ponds at different stocking densities.
