Abstract

Bangladesh is considered one of the most suitable countries in the world for freshwater prawn farming because of its favorable agro climatic condition. The expansion of shrimp farming is triggered by the increased international market demand, seed production and intensive shrimp culture. Shrimp farming is having a positive impact on the livelihoods of many people in Bangladesh, especially the poorer farmers. Prawn and shrimp farming offer a reliable source of revenue that is often more profitable than other kinds of farming, or other non-farming employment. The objective of this paper was to review species availability, culture technique and artificial breeding of prawn and shrimp in Bangladesh.
