  culturespecies Penaeus monodon (1)
Penaeus monodon was originally harvested together with other shrimp species from traditional trapping-growing ponds or as a significant by-product of extensive milkfish ponds.
monodon has a habit of slowly nibbling feed on the pond bottom; this causes substantial nutrient losses because pellet stability is generally not longer than two hours.
monodon is expected to be less bright than it was in 1990s, due mainly to the saturation of export markets and reduction in world economic growth, as well as the emergence of non-tariff barriers in shrimp trade (such as anti-dumping rules), chemical residues, food safety, certification and eco-labelling in some importing countries.

 Arctic Art Sales - Narwhal or Narwhale, Monodon monocerus
In females, both usually remain embedded in pockets in the maxillary bone and grow no longer than 15 cm or so, but in males and very few females, the left one erupts through the lip and develops as a straight, spiral tapered tusk, with a left-hand twist, 2.0 - 2.8 m long.
Monodon monocerus means "the one toothed animal that looks like a unicorn".
Some males also grow a tusk on the right side.

 Unicorn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Relics ornamented with supposed unicorn horns can be found in museums in Vienna and elsewhere in central Europe.
However, these horns are in fact the spiral tusks of the narwhal, an Arctic cetacean (Monodon monoceros), as Danish zoologist Ole Worm established in 1638[5].
Presumably they were brought to central Europe as a trade item and sold as genuine unicorn horns, passing the various tests intended to spot fake unicorn horns.

 Fact Sheet for Penaeus monodon (Fabricius, 1798)
Penaeus carinatus Dana, 1852; Penaeus caeruleus Stebbings, 1905; Penaeus bubulus Kubo, 1949; Penaeus monodon var.
monodon diet preferences includes crustaceans and mollusks (85% ingested food), and the remaining 15% consisting of vegetable matter, polychaetes, fish, debris and sand, indicating that the giant tiger prawn is more of a predator rather than a scavenger or detritus feeder (Solis, 1988).
monodon is a known carrier of Monodon baculovirus (MBV), yellow-head virus (YHV), Infectious hypodermal and hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHHNV), hepatopancreatic parvo-like virus (HPV), baculoviral midgut gland necrosis virus (BMNV), P.

 Arctic Art Sales - Narwhal Tusk, Monodon Monocerus
All tusks shown were taken by Inuit hunters for their meat and muktuk (skin), which is a natural source of vitamin C. The narwhal (Monodon monocerus) is listed under CITES Appendix II and requires a CITES export permit to be shipped out of Canada.
US laws do not allow narwhal tusks to be shipped to the States, but they may still be imported for private purposes to some EU-countries and the rest of the world.
One tusk is 254 cm or 8' 4" in lenght while the other one is 223 cm or 7' 4" long.

 Narwhal, Monodon monoceros at MarineBio.org
The narwhal, Monodon monoceros (Linnaeus, 1758), is a gregarious species commonly found in groups or "pods" sometimes up to 20 individuals, but most often in groups of 3-8, which are often segregated by sex.
During the migratory season, smaller groups combine with other groups to form large herds.

Another recent discovery, heralded by Dainik Bhaskar, a Hindi national newspaper, is the development of fresh water fish that can survive in brackish (salty) water.
Narain explained that Panaeus monodon shrimp and Seabass fish fry were reared with 92% survival and an average weight of 38 GMs and 12 GMs respectively in 140-150 days.
Grey mullet fish could be grown to 1.4 GMs in 39 days in winter at 12-18 degree centigrade in waters up to 45 parts per thousand salinity.
