This book encompasses totally, five chapters, first one deals with the analysis of the information gathered during the survey from existing documentation, reports, and conversations with different shrimp farmers, leading to the conclusion that the study area has all of the essential resources necessary to produce large quantities of shrimp. In the next Chapter, the effect of two commercially available shrimp feeds on the growth and survival rate of the shrimps was investigated. Chapter three demonstrates the comparative analysis of low (6 shrimp m-2) and high-density (12 shrimp m-2) shrimp farming. The results showed that shrimp cultures under low-density farming conditions exhibited higher survival and growth rates. Chapter 4 narrates the effect of three commercial probiotics on the physiochemical parameters, growth and survival rate of the shrimp. The results showed that the growth and survival rate of probiotic-treated shrimps was higher. In Chapter 5, constraints and solutions for shrimp farming on the Kollam coast were investigated.
