Abstract
Tiger
prawn is a fast growing variety reaching
large size and is highly · ·preferred for
monoculture and polyculture operations.
Eventhough the length-\n'ight relationshipof P. monodon has been studied from the
fishery (Subramanyan & Ganapati, 1975),
such information from the culture systems
is scanty. Knowledge of the length-weight
relationship is of great practical utility in
computing the weight from length alone
and also in assessing the well being of the
animals in culture ponds by comparing the
values of relative condition factor
