- Abstract
The issue of sustainability in terms of economic analysis is very important in the present context of regulated brackish water aquaculture. It iswell-known that ecological imbalances are the cause of reduced productivity and profitability. In the present investigation, the economic indicators such as shrimp productivity per unit of major inputs, cost of input per unit cost of output, amount of major inputs per unit of land area, net returns, returns to operator's labour and management, return to capital and management, rate of return on capital investment, ratio of net profit to operating cost, payback period, break-even price and break-even production for crop I and crop II of shrimp ponds located near Uran in Raigad district of Maharashtra were studied. Rate of return determines the operational efficiency of shrimp culture. The rate of return on capital investment was in the range of 51.81-65.30%), while the pay back period was 2.0-2.74 years. Lowest break-even price was Rs 179.48-185.32 kg-1 in crop II while highest of Rs. 258.80-261.30 kg-1 in crop I. The break-even price indicates minimum price of shrimp for sale at given production level. The break-even production was lowest (718.16-719.25 kg ha-1) in crop I and highest (911.13-921.05 kg ha-1) in crop II. Comparative economic study of crops indicated that economic performance of Crop II was better than that of Crop I.
