Description In the recent past, world-wide fishing effort has increased and the
resources must be approaching or must have already surpassed the maximum
sustainable yield. In this context, aquaculture assumes a significant
role as the next alternative to enhance food production. During the year
1993-94, export of marine products from India recorded an all time high
of 239918 hit valued at Ks. 2252.80 crores, of which 60,000 t was
contributed by prawns from lands under shrimp farming. The exploitation
of this economically significant group has reached an optimum level in
our waters. As a source of additional resource, aquaculture has been
resorted to which has a long recorded history in India and has been
traditionally practised in suitable low-lying areas.
