Description The results of two experiments on the culture of Penaeus indicus conducted during the year 1982 are
given. A high survival rate of 99.2% was obtained for the prawns which were stocked at a mean size of
15.8mm. Maximum production rates obtained per hectare within a period of 83 days mono-culture under
stocking densities 4, 5, 7 and 10/m2 were respectively 355, 253, 431 and 398 kg. The size of prawns
at harvest ranged from 90.8 to 119.3 mm mean length and from 4.4 to 12.3 g mean weight. The instantaneous
growth rate varied from 0.0211 to 0.0251 for length and from 0.0591 to 0.0720 for weight in the
different ponds. The pelletised feed used in these experiments gave a good feed conversion ratio of 2.62
in one of the ponds.
