Description The paper gives the results of a set of six monoculture experiments
attempted on mullets, Liza vaigiensis and Valamugil seheli, fed on artificial
diet composed of rice bran and groundnut oilcake in equal proportions at a rate
of 5-10% body weight. The experiments were conducted in saltwater ponds at
Mandapam and covered in all a period of three years. L. vaigiensis stocked at
an estimated density of 50000|ha yielded at the rate of 569|kg|ha|year with the
survival estimated at 72.9%. V. seheli, which was dealt with in all the subsequent
five experiments, with stocking densities varied from 22000 to 40000lha, has
given a yield varying from 59 kg|ha|315 days to 782 kg|ha|265 days, with survival
rates varying from 18.3 to 81.2%.
