“…Our findings are complementary to previous reports by evaluating the growth of sexes in adults (˃30 g BW). The growth rate, in general, was better during the rainy season culture; the dry season is associated with low temperatures at night, reducing the growth of shrimp in commercial operations (Valverde‐Moya & Alfaro‐Montoya ). The final differences in weight, in the three experimental groups, were in the range of 5.0–8.6 g. A similar pattern was reported for P. monodon (Gopal, Gopikrishna, Krishna, Jahageerdar, Rye, Hayes, Paulpandi, Kiran, Pillai, Ravichandran, Ponniah & Kumar ); in this species the growth rate between sexes began to diverge in the range between 15 and 20 g BW.…”
