The study was carried out for 120 days to evaluate the physico-chemical parameters of the Litopenaeus vannamei culture ponds by applying water probiotic (PRO-W). Two shrimp ponds were selected of which one is probiotic treated pond and second one is control pond. The major water quality parameters like salinity, dissolved oxygen; pH and total ammonia nitrogen were recorded by standard measurements. The present study results showed that the probiotic (PRO-W) plays a prominent role in maintain good water quality parameters throughout the culture period.
