Title: Growth performance of Penaeus monodon (Fabricius) and carps in freshwater ponds under polyculture
Abstract: The present paper deals with the polyculture of tiger shrimp, Penaeus monodon and carps in freshwater ponds. P. monodon seeds (PL 20) were stocked at the rate of 1500 and 5000 no. / 0.1 ha under extensive and semi-intensive systems respectively. The carp fingerlings (catla, rohu, mrigal, silver carp, common carp and grass carp) were stocked at the rate of 400 and 800 no. /0.1 ha under extensive and semi- intensive culture ponds respectively. Under extensive culture, the shrimp production obtained was 162.00 kg / ha / 122 days and it was 484.00 kg/ ha / 123 days from semi-intensive culture. The carp production was 2409.40 and 4855.00 kg / ha / yr under extensive and semi-intensive systems respectively.
