- Abstract
Success of shrimp culture mainly depends on two essential ingredients of aquaculture, namely good bottom soil condition and high quality water. The present study was designed to check the suitability of soil and water quality for Litopenaeus vannamei culture in selected locations of Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts of Karnataka. Soil samples study revealed that it is advisable to add clay and silt to these sites to increase their water holding capacity and also to prevent the loss of water due to seepage. Source water parameters such as temperature, pH, turbidity, salinity, dissolved oxygen, total dissolved solids and phosphate phosphorus were within the permissible limit. It was concluded that with the best management practices like adding clay, silt, liming and organic manures to soil and liming, sedimentation and filtration of water makes the shrimp culture more eco-friendly and productive. The results are useful for proper land use planning and management.
