The study examined the growth and its projection of shrimp farming in Gujarat. From the Gujarat region, mainly four districts, namely, Valsad, Navsari, Surat, and Bharuch districts, were selected purposively to study the socio-economic characteristics of shrimp farmers. From each district, two talukas were selected purposively according to the availability of shrimp farmers. After that, two villages from each taluka and from each village, fifteen farmers were selected by simple random sampling (SRS) method. Thus, a total of 240 shrimp farmers were selected for this study. From this study, it was observed that most of the shrimp farmer family size were lying between 4 to 6 family members (i.e., 102 of total respondents) and the majority of the farmers were belonged from the category of Other Backward Class (i.e., 79.16 per cent). The majority of shrimp farmers in Gujarat state practice semi-intensive (i.e., 50.83 per cent) and intensive type (i.e., 42.92 per cent) shrimp culture. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in shrimp production in the overall period was positive statistically significant in India and Gujarat. This study illustrated that L. Vannamei replaces the area under tiger shrimp cultivation because it gave more production than the tiger and other shrimps
