Abstract
This study aimed to report the first occurrence of giant asian tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon Fabricius, 1798 in Piaui coast. A unique example was captured in March 2015 by a shrimp fishing boat. In the laboratory the specimen was identified, sexed, weighed and measured in carapace length (CL), post-orbital length (POL) and length (TL). The exemplary captured it is a female with 298.45 g, 316.20 mm (TL), 133.85 mm (CL) and 90.10 mm (POL) and was found in the depth range of 4 to 6 meters in latitude: 02°50'51.1S and longitude: 041°40'03.9W.
