dc.description.abstractSexual dimorphism is apparent in the black tiger shrimp, Penaeus monodon with females achieve larger size than the males. This character may be attributed to behavioral and/or physiological differences between the sexes. An experiment was developed to determine if there were advantages in rearing all female or all male P. monodon as opposed to mixed-sex populations. Juvenile shrimps (4.46±0.54 g) were collected from earthen pond and individually hand sexed and stocked in the circular cement tanks. Treatments all male, all female and mixed-sex were stocked @ 8 nos./tank. Each treatment had five replicates. The shrimps were offered commercial shrimp feed. The experiment was conducted for a period of 50 days. At harvest, all female shrimps had shown significantly higher growth than all male and mixed-sex treatment. Survival was not significantly different among treatments. FCR of all female was significantly lower than the all male and mixed-sex treatment. Result of the present study demonstrates a benefit to all female culture of P.monodon against the all male or mixed-sex culture. Thus culture of all female may be commercially more attractive to entrepreneurs. Although additional research is required to find a reliable and quick procedure for separation of the sexes or techniques for the production of all female populations.en_US
