Description The ever increasing demand for frozen penaeid prawns has
given an impetus to culture these prawns in the tropical and
sub-tropical regions of the world. One of the serious bottlenecks
in the culture of prawns is the availability of seed prawns at the
proper time for stocking purposes. The methods developed in
countries such as Japan, Taiwan, Philippines and the U. S. A.
for large scale hatchery production of penaeid postlarvae suitable
for stocking are critically reviewed. The success achieved by
the Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute at the hatchery
in Narakkal in spawning and mass culturing the commercially
important penaeid prawns such as Penaeus indicus, P. monodon,
Metapenaeus dobsoni, M. affinis, M. monoceros and Parapenaeopsis
stylifera from the egg stage to the postlarval stage is reported
