Brackishwater fish farming is considered as one of the
potential areas not only as a source for fish production
but also ensures the food security, livelihood for coastal
community, business opportunity for entrepreneurs and
also can earn foreign exchange. Coastal aquaculture has
grown tremendously in early 1990s with farming of single
species, the tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon. However,
the shrimp farming faced severe set back due to outbreak
of viral diseases coupled with social and other
environmental issues. To overcome these issues, it is
important to introduce some of the remedial measures in
order to revive the aquaculture industry to achieve the
sustainable production and one such measure clearly
visible is the diversification of brackishwater aquaculture
with fish species. It is evident that crop rotation can also
decrease the risk of disease outbreak in the pond system
