CIFE Rohtak is the only central research centre in India dedicated to research on use of inland saline soils and ground water for fish and shrimp culture (Inland saline aquaculture). Traditionally a non fish growing state, CIFE pioneered scientific fish farming in Haryana after successful pilot studies and demonstrations at Dumduma and ...
Technological advances have led to growing shrimp at ever higher densities, and broodstock is shipped worldwide. Virtually all farmed shrimp are of the family Penaeidae, and just two species – Litopenaeus vannamei (Pacific white shrimp) 70% and Penaeus monodon (giant tiger prawn) 20% – account for roughly 90% of all farmed shrimp.
The shrimp species farmed include the jumbo tiger shrimp, Indian prawn, Penaeus merguiensis, whiteleg shrimp, Metapenaeus ensis, and the giant freshwater prawn. [4] [10] The jumbo tiger shrimp is a native species, and can be grown in fresh and salty water. [12]: 2 The main crabs farmed are the mudcrabs Scylla serrata and Scylla oceanica.
The giant tiger prawn (Penaeus monodon) is the dominant species chosen for aquaculture, followed by the Indian white prawn (Fenneropenaeus indicus) and Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei). In 2015–16, West Bengal (61,998 MT) was the largest producer of tiger shrimp for export, followed by Odisha (9,191 MT).
