Litopenaeus vannamei (whiteleg shrimp) species, which have been introduced to many coastal states of India, now account for 90 percent of the country's total shrimp culture. The species exhibits a fast growth rate and its culture period is significantly shorter than that of Penaeus monodon (tiger prawn), making it an attractive alternative to tiger prawn production in several countries. Shrimp culture in West Bengal West Bengal includes part of the largest impounded brackish water area in the India, spread over three districts - Purba Medinipur, North 24 Parganas and South 24 Pargana - which account for 5,612 ha of culturable brackish water. The Purba Medinipur district has 3,342 ha suitable for shrimp culture and much of this area has already been developed for extensive and improved extensive culture practice with P. monodon. L. vannamei have been cultured here since 2012 and presently make up around 90 percent of the region's total shrimp production. Pond size & design Most of the ponds are situated near Kalinagar Canal and its branches as well as in and around other saline creeks. The majority of farms consist of 2-3 ponds between 0.1 ha and 0.3 ha in size and most do not have separate water inlets and outlets. Most have been converted for shrimp culture from agricultural paddy fields. Those that are leased are rented for Rs.20,000/- - 30,000 /- year/ acre. Farm management 2.1 Pond preparation The bottoms of the newly developed and excavated ponds are treated with high dose of lime powder, around 400-500 kg / hectare. After harvest, the pond bottom is allowed to dry to eradicate possible sources of disease. The black soils are removed, then the pond bottom is thoroughly ploughed at a depth of 30 cm to remove the noxious gases existing in the soil. The pond bottom is treated with quick lime, agricultural lime and dolomite .
