The Black Tiger Shrimp (Penaeus monodon) from Cox's Bazar is a premium-quality seafood product, renowned for its large size, firm texture, and delectable taste. Cultivated in the nutrient-rich coastal waters of the Bay of Bengal, these shrimp are a key export of Bangladesh, reflecting the region's expertise in aquaculture.

The shrimp are often farmed in semi-intensive and eco-friendly systems, leveraging the area's ideal salinity and temperature conditions. Their distinct natural flavor and versatility make them a favorite in global cuisines, from gourmet dishes to everyday meals. Black Tiger Shrimp can be grilled, fried, steamed, or used in curries, pasta, and stir-fries.

Economically, Black Tiger Shrimp plays a vital role in Bangladesh's seafood export industry, particularly in markets like the USA, EU, Japan, and China. However, the industry faces challenges such as disease outbreaks, competition from other shrimp species, and environmental concerns related to farming.
