Abstract
The Indian white prawn, Penaeus indicus, a highly desirable species for
culture, has been domesticated at the Marine Prawn Hatchery Laboratory of
CMFRI, at Narakkal. Following the techniques developed at the Laboratory to
induce them to breed in captivity and to rear them through all the stages of its
lifehistory in the farm itself, five successive eenerations were raised at the MPHL.
The advantages of this kind of domt slication in large-scale over the conventional
culture of- this prawn are briefly disrtissed in this note.
