This study has been undertaken to investigate the resource potential of brackish water prawn farming in Sindhudurg coast. For this survey along the Sindhudurg coast for assessing the productivity of the brackish water prawn farms were carried out so as to get an idea of the exact earning potential of this sector and it is find out that. The production of brackish water prawn farming in Sindhudurg coast depends upon the area of the coast, geographical nature of the coast and physico-chemical factors such as the, temperature fluctuation, oxygen depletion and the availability of prawn seed. The increase or decrease of salinity in the water column exerts either a direct or an indirect effect on the productivity of brackish water prawn farming in Sindhudurg coast. The second effect on prawn productivity is probably due to the high cost of production and viral diseases. The indirect effect might be due to the natural disasters, flood problems, lack of quality seed and high price of seed ultimately affecting the production of brackish water prawn farming.
