Studies on the fisheries biology of the giant tiger prawn, Penaeus monodon in the Philippines
Share
Abstract
The present study was carried out primarily by means of field surveys and secondarily by laboratory and pond experiments to reveal the fisheries biology of the giant tiger prawn, Penaeus monodon Fabricius, in the Philippines during the period from March 1975 to June 1980. The topics covered in this technical report include: (1) taxonomy and morphology; (2) geographical and ecological distribution; (3) reproduction; (4) spawning; (5) development; (6) growth; (7) migration; (8) conclusions and recommendations.
