Abstract

The tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon is universally recognised as one of the most important cultured species, particularly in the Asian countries. It is a fast growing, euryhaline, omnivorous and hardy species well known for its delicious fl esh and high commercial value. Hence it contributes to the major share of shrimp production from farming. Different ranges of salinity have been reported to support the survival and better growth of this shrimp. Muthu (1980) and Karthikeyan (1994) recommended a salinity range of 1-35 ppt, while Rajyalakshmi (1980) and Chanratchakool et al. (1994) recommended a salinity range of 15-20 ppt and 10-30 ppt respectively for rearing this species. Chen (1984) reported that a salinity range of 15-22 ppt is optimal for culturing P. monodon in coastal areas.
