Abstract
An experiment was conducted to evaluate the production potentials of brown shrimp, Metapenaeus monoceros under three different stocking densities such as 10, 20 and 30 /m2 in treatments T1, T2 ,and T3 in brackishwater ponds. After 90 days of culture total production was recorded as 577, 608 and 764 kg/ha in T1, T2 and T3 respectively. Total production was significantly higher (p<0.05) in T3 compared to T1 and T2. Net benefit was recorded as BDT 143,109/ha, BDT 121,825/ha and BDT 162,516/ha in T1, T2 and T3 respectively. Cost benefit ratio was 2.23, 1.80 and 1.91 in T1, T2 and T3 respectively. Net benefit in T3 (BDT 162,516/ha) was higher than T1 and T2. The brown shrimp have high rates of growth, together with that they tolerate wide ranges of salinity and environmental parameters, makes them highly attractive for culture purposes.
