My answer is somewhat vague, as my copy of the book is at home, but
although perhaps somewhat generic and maybe dated, there is a good overview
book available 
through Blackwell Publishing.  Title is something like Shrimp Capture and
Culture. 
 
There is a web page for publisher, http://www.blacksci.co.uk/fnb/

If you're interested in P. monodon, two very practical almost "cook
book" manuals are  "Prawn Farming by K.J. Chen and S. L. Ramos and
"Prawn cultue - scientfic and practical approach" by Chen Kong Jung
and William G. Co.  Both are available from Argent Laboratories.
There are also some good references available from the Weddell
Mariculture Center in South Carolina dealing with intensive culture of
P. vannemai.  You can request a publications list via E mail.
