The present study aimed on the culture practices of two shrimp species P. vannamei and P. monodon from the culture ponds at Bhimavaram, Andhra Pradesh. Pond preparation, water quality parameters, stocking, survival, growth, feed, FCR, biomass and disease management were observed during the study period. The stocking density of P. vannamei was high when compared to P. monodon. ABW was in the range of 27.77 to 1.25 g in P. vannamei whereas 47.61 to 58.82 g in P. monodon. Highest biomass was found to be 10,653.12 and 6762.66kg in P. vannamei and P. monodon respectively. ADG and FCR were 0.57 and 0.66g; 1:1.4 and 1:1.38 in P. vannamei and P. monodon respectively. The present work revealed that these two species are tolerable to fluctuations in water quality parameters and are best suitable for aquaculture practices.
