The maharashtra state has 720 km coastal length. It

comprises Thane, Raigad , Ratnagiri and Shindhudurg

districts of konkan region.

these coastal saline soils Kharland have great

potential for their use in Aquaculture these for. This

study has been taken up in order to haw about the

limnology of pod’s in Kharland area for assessly their

“Prawns” culture potential.

Dissolved Oxygen - Water quality influences the level of growth that can be

achieved with freshwater prawns

Dissolved oxygen is particularly important, and a good oxygen-monitoring

program is necessary

Electronic oxygen meters are the most reliable and accurate means to

determine levels of dissolved oxygen

The need for an electronic oxygen meter increases as the quantity of ponds

that need to be managed increases

Fresh water prawn

Sea water prawn

This marine shellfish tastes delicious the moment you bit

into it

Many seafood enthusiasts get confused between shrimp

and prawns

The difference between them is pretty straightforward;

prawns are harvested from fresh water and prawns from salt

water

They contain fewer amounts of saturated fat and high

quantities of protein

They also comprise of selenium which helps prevent the

growth of cancer cells.

the input-wise expenditure was analyzed

and it has been seen that, feed, seed and

electricity were the major costs incurred

11 percent of the total expenditure was used

for the seed.

38 per cent of the total cost, which was

Rs. 71 thousand were used for feed purpose

In case, feed, electricity and medicine were

the main costs incurred in culture .

13 per cent of the total cost was incurred for

the seed purpose.

38 per cent of the total cost that means Rs.

95 thousand were incurred for feed.

3 per cent cost of the total costwas used for

medicines.

The cost of seed used in culture was Rs. 33

thousand that means 13 percent of the total

cost.

Feed is one of the major cost Rs. 89

thousand, It means that 36 per cent of the

total cost was incurred for feed purpose.

37 per cent of the total cost of Inputs was

incurred for feed.

Feed was one of the major costs in farming

in Thane District.

10 per cent cost for seed and 27 per cent

cost for electricity was used from the total

cost incurred.

Seafood is a booming economy unto itself and Dendrobranchiata make up

a large part of it.

Some countries, like the United States, rely almost exclusively on fisheries

but other countries have concentrated on aquaculture (shrimp farms).

Ecuador boasts a 95% farmed production rate and some countries

produce similar amounts from both fisheries and aquaculture, including

India.

The most important species for aquaculture are the Kuruma prawn,

Chinese prawn, giant tiger prawn and white-leg prawn.

The hatcheries in Maharashtra are non-operational leading to high costing of seed, which basically stems from high cost of transportation and disease occurrence stock.

As there is huge economical loss due to diseases and other technical problems; farmers should get crop insurance.

Government should provide consultancy to the farmers about site selection, pond construction and better management practices, to avoid losses due to floods, etc

Government should tie-up with private

extension providers to increase the efficiency

of extension service.

Wade or use a boat

Hunt in shallow waterPrawns hatch in shallow coastal waters and tend to stay in large, shallow

bodies of water with tide pools or bays. Fish in these waters instead of

deep bodies of water.

Boating is a popular method for catching prawns
