the present paper studies the reproductive biology, maturation size and sex ratio of penaeus monodon collected from digha fishing grounds, india during 2011-2013.  a total of 633 individual of p. monodon were examined and among them 242 were males and 391 were females. the overall yearly sex ratio was observed to be 1:1.6 (males: females). based on the results, the spawning season of p. monodon...

Shrimp aquaculture is under pressure to increase its production meet the growing demand for food from a population. In Philippines, has experienced shift milkfish prawn, with attractive marketable price. This intensification led negative and positive impacts, which have raised range of environmental socioeconomic problems. paper reviews challenges that shrimp industry faces using Preferred Repo...

The objective of our study was to explain the histopathological changes of monodon baculovirus (MBV) in hepatopancreas and midgut tissues of the cultured Penaeus vannamei. Five-hundred and forty juvenile of P. vannamei with average size of 7.99±0.54 g and 3600 post larvae 10-15 were distributed to 18 glass aquariums (50×50×60cm) with 100L well aerated water per each aquarium as water borne MBV ...
