ABSTRACT
In Vietnam, cage farming of snubnose pompano is well developed by feeding with trash fish and extruded pellet feeds. The experiences gained through farming in various systems are given below: Earthen pond farming in freshwater (zero salinity) was first attempted in a freshwater fish farm located in Akkiveedu Village, West Godavari district of Andhra Pradesh, India. Earthen pond farming in brackishwater (low salinity) was first attempted in a brackishwater fish pond located in Anthervedhi Village, West Godavari district of Andhra Pradesh, India. Later, Tatum & Trimble attempted the polyculture of Penaeus species and wild caught pompano fry in seawater ponds adjacent to a natural bay and using natural water of uncontrolled varying salinities from that bay. The fish density was 120 kg/1 000 litres, which is considered very high, though not detrimental to this species. This density is considered the highest recommended without supplemental mechanical filtration.
