ABSTRACT
In this chapter, the author analyzes the contents of various techniques of prawn culture and the related problems so as to help prawn culture to progress. For a long time, scientists had been hoping to culture prawns on a small scale. Prof. M. Hudinaga had been conducting continuous research on this subject for more than 30 years since 1933. Several other scientists also participated in the research under the guidance of Prof. Hudinaga. Their aim was to devise an effective culture technique and to apply it on a commercial scale. At last in 1963, they succeeded in the commercial production of seedlings, thus initiating large-scale culture of prawns. However, in spite of all these efforts, there was still much fundamental work to be done to perfect the technique of prawn culture and increase the production rate.
