Abstract
Two hundred indigenous pink shrimps, Penaeus notialis and 19 exotic giant tiger Shrimps, P. monodon from Buguma Creek were caught in brackish water tidal ponds of the Nigerian Institute for Oceanography and Marine Research, Buguma in April, May and June 2005. The length-weight relationship of both species indicated allometric pattern of growth. Regression coefficient values (b) computed were 2.92 and 2.97 for P. notialis and P.monodon respectively, although the values are not significantly different from 3 (Isometric growth) (P>0.05). In terms of biomass, P. monodon significantly outweighed P notialis (P0.05). Keywords: Penaeus notialis , P. monodon, brackish water, Length weight Relationship, condition factor.
