3.1.1 Age & Size
Age at first breeding of tiger shrimp is not clearly established. It is reported that a combination of age and body size along with feed availabe and favourable environmental conditions influence the onset of sexual maturity. Nevertheless, the size is a matter for the high fecundity and yield of good young ones. The males of body weight between 40 and 70g and females with body weight of 60 to 80g are found sexually matured among wild stock, whereas among farm reared shrimps, male weighing 35g and females weighing 40g are found sexually matured. Other contributing factors might be resposnisble for differnce in maturity.
