Abstract
<p><em>Th<strong>e</strong> culture of shrimp received maximum importance due to its unique taste, high nutritive value and persistent demand in world market. In the present study an attempt has been made to culture the giant tiger shrimp, P. monodon. The salinity of the culture pond was ranging between 26-30 ppt and pH was 7.8 to 8.2. Minimum 4.5 ppm dissolved oxygen and maximum 5.5 ppm was recorded during the culture period. The temperature was ranging between 28 to 30°C and the transparency was 38 to 55 cm. The culture was done for 140 days and the average body weight of the harvested animals is 40.2 g. The total production was 2,563 kg and the survival rate was 85%. The FCR was 1.25 and the net profit was calculated as Rs. 3, 25,037. So it is confirmed that 10 m<sup>2</sup> is an ideal stocking density for the culture of P. monodon as evidenced from the net profit Rs. 3, 25,0371. To get this profit, proper water quality management and feed management is essential. </em></p>
