Experiments on the culture of tiger shrimps, Penaeus monodon (Fabricius) were conducted in two different systems and locations i.e. in an earthen pond at Universiti Putra Malaysia Terengganu (UPMT) and in net cages at Setiu lagoon. The first experiment was to determine the growth and survival of shrimps reared in an earthen pond. The second experiment was to investigate the socio-economic feasibility of shrimp in net cage culture as a new culture activity and to determine the effects of stocking density on growth, survival and production.
