P.monodon inhabit sandy estuaries and coasts in Eastern Africa, Southeast Asia, and Northern Australia. They shift to deeper waters (up to 110 meters) as adults, exhibiting nocturnal behaviour, and feed on detritus, worms, mollusks, crustaceans, and algae.
The species tolerates salinity from 0.2 to 70 ppt, with 10 to 25 ppt range as optimum in aquaculture systems resulting in favorable food conversion ratios and resilience.
For its rapid growth and large size, reaching up to 36 cm in length, making it a preferred species in aquaculture for commercial farming. The species is highly valued for its tender meat and high market demand.
Unibio’s SPF monodon seeds are recognized by farmers as refractory to some of the most prevalent diseases causing pathogens like EHP, which is associated with white fecal syndrome. It is also resistant to infestations by epicommensals like Zoothamnium (fungus). These characteristics result in avoidance of unwanted chemical treatments during culture.
Unibio’s SPF monodon seeds adapt well to reasonable fluctuations in water quality parameters resulting in higher survival. Improved pond management practices coupled with optimal water quality enhance its resilience, making it the preferred choice for successful shrimp farming.
P. monodon as a species has potential to grow bigger and faster, especially at lower stocking densities. Leveraging efficient nutrient assimilation from a balanced formulated feed, Unibio SPF can achieve good growth rates with better feed conversion.
