The thesis entitled "Studies on improved practices of prawn farming for higher production in central Kerala"
prepared by the author describes various practices prevailing in the study area in order to elucidate their relative merits. The study on
semi-intensive farming at Mundapuram, Kannur was also carried out
and included in the thesis for comparison.The author felt it important to make a
critical study of the existing culture practices in the central Kerala,
a region where it has been existing since time immemorial.Careful analysis of data accrued by the author has helped
him to identify strength, weakness, opportunities and threats
confronting the shrimp farming.
As a result it was possible to evolve an appropriate
management technology taking into consideration the various ecological
(location specific), social and economical conditions prevalent in the
vast study area. |
