Abstract

The black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) remains one of the most economically valuable crustaceans in global aquaculture, significantly contributing to export earnings, rural employment, and food security across Asia and other tropical regions. This review explores the economic growth, production dynamics, and sustainability challenges of P. monodon aquaculture, emphasizing recent advances in breeding, feed formulation, and disease management. The study consolidates data from the past two decades to assess productivity trends, cost-benefit ratios, and market competitiveness compared with Litopenaeus vannamei. Key findings highlight the resurgence of P. monodon farming through improved hatchery technologies, biosecurity protocols, and integrated farming systems, resulting in enhanced yield efficiency and economic resilience. However, rising input costs, disease outbreaks, and environmental constraints continue to limit large-scale expansion. This review underscores the need for sustainable management practices, policy support, and technological innovation to ensure the long-term profitability and ecological stability of P. monodon aquaculture.
