Akshay Mandal*1 and Malay Duyari2

Abstract

Aquaculture play major role for food production and employment generation as well as economy growth of any country. Due to high production cost and low demand in global shrimp market, farmers now face lots of problem, many farmers stop culture but if we employed Better management practices (BMPs) then we can reduce these production cost. In this article we discussed about Better management practices, from Pond preparation to seed selection, water screening, biosecurity, feed management, water quality management, pond bottom management, health and disease management and better harvest practices. Along with more production we focus on sustainable aquaculture to save our environment and biodiversity for that case we should use probiotics instead of antibiotics, effluent management and also water management before releasing it into river and canals, maintains precautions for contamination and disease spread. Data was gathered and organized chronologically from a variety of secondary sources, including journals, research papers, articles, reports, and electronic media. This review’s primary goal is to raise knowledge about Better management practices as well as Sustainable Aquaculture which will help students, entrepreneurs, Research scholars, others stack holders in this sector and also farmers who can directly use BMPs in their farm to minimize their production cost and maximize their profit.
