The demand and supply for vannamei shrimp exports were augmenting from US$ Million 3210.94 to 3709.76 in 2013-14 and 201415 respectively. The top most candidate species (with higher meat yield ~ 66-68%) in mariculture, Litopenaeus vannamei (Penaeid shrimp) native to the Eastern Pacific coast were selected with Biosecurity measures; pre-stocking; Pond and feed management practices for experimental culture. PL8 stage seeds were stocked in different High Density polyethylene lined ponds for 120 days of culture.
