An experiment was carried out to study the effect of sex ratio on fecundity and breeding behavior of the giant prawn. The sex ratios of male to female tested were 1:1, 1:2 and 1:3. The results show that the fecundity was less in the lower than that in the higher sex ratio. The physical disturbances in breeding process took place especially at night. The greater number of female was the more disturbances happened between them, such as pereiopode attack and canibalism.
