The experiments were conducted in twelve 1/3 ha shallow-salt-water ponds,to study the effects of paddlewheel and stocking density(ranged of 4-25 persquare meter)on the production of tiger prawn,Penaeus monodon.Althoughsuffering from disease loss during the culture period,results of the unaffectedponds had shown no significant difference on production when different numberof paddlewheels was used.When stocking rates were higher than 20/m^(2),aslight increase of averaged individual weight resulted which may be attributedto heavier use of paddlewheels.Both averaged individual weight and production appeared to be significantly influenced by stocking density.Resultsfrom regression analysis showed that stocking more than 17 per square meterresulted in low values of total yield because of decrease in weight gain.
