Culture of Penaeus monodon occupies a dominating sector in Indian brackish water aquaculture and proper feed is the most important criteria in getting beneficial returns from shrimp culture. To evaluate the efficiency of feed, mixed with specially formulated plant feed additives with respect to shrimp growth, survival, production, feed conversion ratio and pond environment, experimental monoculture of Penaeus monodon (with stocking density 5 nos./m2), was carried out in two different islands (Chotomollakhali and Bali) of Indian Sundarbans. The shrimps were harvested at the end of 93 days and a production of 823.61 kg/ha and 952.20 kg/ha was obtained in the islands Chotomollakhali and Bali respectively.

Culture of Penaeus monodon occupies a dominating sector in Indian brackish water aquaculture and proper feed is the most important criteria in getting beneficial returns from shrimp culture. To evaluate the efficiency of feed, mixed with specially formulated plant feed additives with respect to shrimp growth, survival, production, feed conversion ratio and pond environment, experimental monoculture of Penaeus monodon (with stocking density 5 nos./m2), was carried out in two different islands (Chotomollakhali and Bali) of Indian Sundarbans. The shrimps were harvested at the end of 93 days and a production of 823.61 kg/ha and 952.20 kg/ha was obtained in the islands Chotomollakhali and Bali respectively.
