Due to various reasons they replaced Tiger Shrimp (Penaeus monodon) and shifted to culture of this exotic shrimps fetching more productivity as well as profit in respect to same unit area. With less knowledge of technology this culture is expanding vary rapidly with the guidance of multinational companies and other field level stakeholders. The major constrains were availability of good quality of certified seeds, feeds & fertilizers, modern technology for farming, disease diagnosis centers, unregulated marketing systems and intervention of middleman, addiction etc. Proper training, scientific management, sufficient financial support by Government, infrastructural development for framing and implementation of problem soothing rules at field level can help to increase the production which in turn uplift the socio-economic status of the respective people.
