Length-weight relationship and condition factor of wild, grow-out and ‘loose-shell affected’ giant tiger shrimp, Penaeus monodon (Fabricius, 1798) (Decapoda: Penaeidae)

Abstract: Summary Length–weight relationships and condition factors of wild, cultured, and cultured loose‐shell affected Penaeus monodon (2,609 specimens total) were studied from March to August 2007. The regression equation for healthy cultured shrimps was log W = −1.811 + 2.721 log L (r2 = 0.71); log W = −1.444 + 2.485 log L (r2 = 0.91) for wild shrimps; and log W = −1.112 + 2.237 log L (r2 = 0.92) for loose‐shell affected shrimps. All shrimps showed negative allometric growth, although ancova indicated significant di… Show more

“…Similar results were reported in grow-out culture of P. monodon by Primavera et al (1998). However, allometric growth (b<3.0) was reported in pond reared P. monodon (Gopalakrishnan et al, 2014) and variation in growth from allometric to isometric (b value = 2.45 to 3.01) was reported for P. monodon cultured in different ecological conditions (Prasad, 2001). Hence the length-weight relationship is influenced by ecological conditions of the culture system and the recorded isometric growth of the present study indicates that the location of the cage culture site is suitable for culture of tiger shrimp in floating cages.…”

“…The K value 1.31 for Macrobrachium sp. from this study were slightly higher than M. rosenbergii (1.09) under rice fields (Kunda et al, 2008), Atya gabonensis (1.014) from river (Okayi and Iyorkyaa, 2004) or P. monodon (0.727) under cultured (Gopalakrishnan et al, 2014). Meanwhile, the K values of 0.36-1.56 for fish are also commonly found in some fish species from other habitats.…”

“…On the other hand, if b ≠ 3 an allometric growth is presented by the species, suggesting a differential or disproportional growth of length and weight. When b < 3 the species shows a negative allometric growth (a preferential increase of length more than weight) and if b > 3, it indicates a positive allometric growth (a preferential increase of weight more than length) for the species (Gould, 1966;Gopalakrishnan et al, 2014).…”
