The Sea-bob-shrimp, Xiphopenaeus kroyeri (Heller, 1862), is widely distributed throughout the Western Atlantic, occurring from North Carolina (USA) to Rio Grande do Sul State (Brazil). The study was accomplished in Tijucas Bay, Tijucas, Santa Catarina State with the objective of contributed with the biology and life cycle of the species. Samples were obtained from trawl net artisanal fishery. Growth was estimated, for both sexes, through modal progression analysis (MPA), by using the Bertalanffy growth model. The growth equations obtained were: CL = 31(1-e(-0.0072(t-t0))) (female) and CL = 28(1-e(-0.0082(t-t0))) (male). Males presented lower longevity values (561 days), higher growth coefficient (0.0082) and smaller asymptotic length (28 mm) than females. Females presented slow growth (0.0072), longevity of 641 days and asymptotic length of 31 mm.Downloads
