Prawn and Prawn fisheries
 
Description Aquaculture of prawns in coastal brackishwater bodies ha s
been recognized as one of the highly potential areas for
increasing 'prawn production. It also derives economic
benefits such as bettey use of unproductive and marginally
productive lands, augmentation of export and foreign e xchange
earnings, 'support to food processing industries and
establishment of ancillary industries. As the prawn farms are
located in the rural areas, generation of employment
opportunities along with the upliftment of the socio - economic
conditions of the rural poor population is also made pos sible
through prawn farming.
The driving forces behind increased aquaculture
production of shrimp have been the continued market demand for
shrimp and the large profit margin between the cost to produce
through aquaculture and the world market price. Besides,
increased demand for foreign exchange also makes shrimp farming
a reality in many developing countries.
