Abstract
To assess the growth and culture potentials of Indian white prawn Penaeus indicus, locally knownas Chaka Chingri, a preliminary trial was conducted for a period of 145 days in earthen ponds. The postlarvae were collected from Sundarbans coast and stocked in 3 ponds of 0.056 ha each with the stockingdensity at 30, 40 and 54 m-2in T1,T2 and T3 treatments respectively. Commercial pelleted feed with 36%protein was fed. Production and physico-chemical parameters were recorded and analyzed according tostandard methods. After 145 days of rearing, obtained average final weight was 22.18±6.71g, 25.25±3.11gand 29.25±2.88g; with the estimated yield of 1197 kg/ha, 3030 kg/ha, and 3632 kg/ha, survival was 18%,30% and 23% in T1, T2 and T3 treatments respectively. Results and findings of the present study suggestedthat P. indicus might be potential mariculture candidate in the coastal areas of Bangladesh.
