Pacific white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei is one the most intensively cultivated shrimp in India as well as world. The recent experience in the development of large scale aquaculture venture has given rise to the opinion that the key to success in not the availability of adequate technology, but also efficient management. The present study reported that Litopenaeus vannamei in the brackish water shrimp ponds in Nellore, Andhra Pradesh, India. The study was conducted in three culture ponds (without probiotics) P1, P2, P3 and ponds (with probiotics) P1p, P2p and P3p of same size i.e. 0.5ha. The control ponds fed with experimental feed F1, F2 and F3 and the experimental ponds with soil, water and feed probiotics respectively. Feeding was done four times a day. The physico-chemical parameters were analyzed using standard methods. The rate of survival was better recorded in the probiotics treated ponds 84.5%, 80.4% and 79.8% than that of the non-probiotic ponds it is 73.4%, 69.8% and 67.5% only. The study observed the increased level of growth, production, survival and feed conversion ratio during the culture period. The results of the present study also revealed that the total haemocyte count and the total haemolymph protein were higher in probiotic fed Litopenaeus vannamei compared to without probiotic fed shrimp.
