I did not do that. But I am not positive about that because

1- the difference in dietary requirement between these two shrimp. Monodon needs higher dietary protein than vannamei. You can not feed them separately, instead you should a single diet for them both. Low protein causes health deterioration in monodon and high protein increase ammonia production by vannamei.

2- monodon is an aggressive species and will show antagonostic behaviors toward other species. I guess high mortality in cannamei may occur

Is is not suitable for farming the two species

It is true that there is variation in nutritional requirements of these two species and it is not advised to culture them together. This is more true where high yields of crops are of major concern.However, it is not that this is not possible . But you will have to opt for a moderate yield. In that case, you need to depend more on natural food like benthos than the supplementary feeds. This will partially take care of the larger nutrient requirement of monodon and ,at the same time , reduce the problem of ammonia production. Why not give a small trial , considering the salinity of your water.

Growth performance is quite dissmilar for those two species, hence farming practice would never be profitable . Thanks.

Thank you all for your valuable suggestions. Regards

not posible as both have different growth patterns and it will be way difficult to segregate and avoid cannibalism

stocking for tiger shrimp very limited, because they concentrate on the base of pond, but for white shrimp there pelagic, so they the can be stocking up to 300pcs per meter volume of water body

Though it is not advised to culture both species together but it is possible. There are some constraints that should be taken care of during culture period.

1. Tiger shrimp needs higher protein feed while vennamei shrimp needs comparatively lower protein feed. So feed cost will be higher for vennamei in that case and there will be more chance of water quality deterioration. Biofloc technology or recirculatory aquaculture system can be the solution of this problem. Biofloc technology will also reduce the feed cost.

2. As the growth performance vary, periodic grading may optimize production rate.

3. Stocking ratio should be maintained according to the bottom and water column ratio as tiger shrimp is bottom feeder and vannamei is column feeder.

4. There is more chance of contamination and disease occurrence if cultured both species together. So, biosecurity maintenance and health management should be strongly handled.

I have no experience with this, black with white, together cause many problems variation in pH, temperature, nutrition, and other environmental factors

Challenging to the application of feed, medicines/or minerals and probiotics and behavior at the same concentration with different feeding habit

Why black with white, try integrated multi-trophic aquaculture

Good luck

Penaues monodon is more successful than Penaeus vannamei.

It is possible to raise them together provided conditions are available

Like high salinity

and cheap food

Because the first needs a low-protein diet, as well as medium salinity

Thank you all for your valuable suggestions. Regards

Yes, the tiger shrimp (P mododon) can be cultured together with vanamei shrimp but you have to arrange their stocking density to avoid competition in oxygen, food and space

Monodon shrimp is much more expensive than vanamei shrimp.

I agree with Sri Rejeki . I also suggested earlier that cultivation of both the species can be done under a moderate culture system, giving more importance to natural food items.

I don't think that they are completely different in nutrition conditions

Its risky --- monodon is vulnerable to viral attack and hence should be avoided

Vannamei shrimps are SPF whereas tiger shrimp are more vulnerable to WSSV hence this idea of culturing vannamei with monodon is not advisable.

Farming both Penaeus monodon and Penaeus vannamei together in the same pond can have both benefits and challenges from an economic perspective.

Benefits:

• Diversification: Farming multiple species can reduce risks associated with farming a single species.
• Utilization of resources: Different species can utilize different food sources and occupy different niches within the pond, allowing for more efficient utilization of resources.
• Market demand: Both Penaeus monodon and Penaeus vannamei are popular shrimp species in the market, so farming both can potentially capture a wider range of customers.

Challenges:

• Compatibility: Penaeus monodon and Penaeus vannamei have different temperature and salinity requirements, which can make it challenging to create optimal conditions for both species in the same pond.
• Disease transmission: The mixing of different species can increase the risk of disease transmission between them, which can result in economic losses.
• Management: Farming multiple species requires more management and expertise, which can increase costs.

Overall, the economics of farming both Penaeus monodon and Penaeus vannamei together will depend on a range of factors, including market demand, production costs, and management efficiency. It is recommended to consult with aquaculture experts and conduct a thorough feasibility study before pursuing such a venture.
