Age and growth of the deep water mud shrimp Solenocera melantho (De Man, 1907) was estimated using von Bertalanffy growth model employing modal progression analysis, Ford-Walford method for L-infinity and K and t(0) by Gulland's method as well as ELEFAN I (FiSAT II software version 1.2.2) method. The growth parameters estimated by the former method were: L-infinity = 107.9 mm, K = 2.61 y(-1), t(0) = 0.1344, phi(') = 4.4825 for males and L-infinity = 116.4 mm, K = 3.69 y(-1), t(0) = 0.1346, phi(') = 4.6997 for females and by the latter method were : L-infinity = 106.1 mm, K = 2.17 y(-1), t(0) =-0.05, phi' = 4.3879 for males and L-infinity = 116.8 mm, K = 2.1 y(-1), t(0) = -0.05, phi' = 4.4571 for females. The longevity estimated for both males and females of S. melantho was about 36 months. The females were observed to grow faster than the males.
