Aquaculture is one among the fastest growing food sectors in the world. Amongst the various branches of aquaculture, shrimp culture has expanded rapidly across the world because of faster growth rate of shrimps, short culture period, high export value and demand in the market. In developing countries of east and south – east Asia, shrimp culture has become an important industry and contributes for the majority of the export both in terms of quantity and value. Currently more than 70 % of global shrimp production is coming from these countries and most is exported to developed countries. China is the leading producer of farmed shrimp in the world.
India has vast potential in terms of species diversity and total marine and brackish water culture environment. In India, total production of shrimp was 1,85,990 metric tonnes from an area of 1,84,115 ha during 2005-2006 [1] . Although shrimp aquaculture has significant contribution in the export earning still there is a room for improvement in the total production through lateral expansion and better management practices. In this regard, the state of Gujarat has the longest coast line in India and it can be for its suitability for the expansion of shrimp aquaculture.
