A culture trial on the ginger shrimp Metapenaeus kutchensis (George, George and Rao, 1963) was attempted using wild seeds. These wild seeds (average length 8.46 ± 0.765 cm and average weight 4.17 ± 1.107 g) were collected from the Jaleshwar creek, Veraval (Junagadh) and Ujani Creek, Samapore (Navsari) and were stocked in 0.02 ha pond @ 2.5 numbers/m2 at Coastal Soil Salinity Research Station, Danti, (Navsari) Gujarat and reared for 110 days. The stocked shrimps seeds were fed twice a day with commercial shrimp pellet feed (CP 35%). The shrimp juveniles attained an average length of 11.80 ± 0.63 cm, average weight of 15.30 ± 3.31 g, average daily gain in weight of 0.14 g/day and survival rate of 60 % at the end of 110 days of culture. A significant positive correlation was found between the pond water salinity with average body weight (ABW) whereas, it was not significantly correlated with pond water temperatures similarly, present study shows the potential of this shrimp species to grow under high salinity and low temperature conditions prevailing during winter months. The species sustained low temperatures (up to 13.8 °C) and high salinities (up to 45.2 ppt) and have the potential to form an alternative species for winter crop aquaculture and can generate resources for a second crop in fallow culture ponds during November - February period.
