Stocking of juveniles is widely practiced in marine shrimp production. A simple mechanical device is needed to sort juvenile shrimp by their physical dimensions. By analyzing a sample of 551 commercially produced Penacus stylirostris juveniles, ranging from 0.07 to 10.33 g, it was determined that a regression equation of the form Y = (A*X**B)* c can be used to adequately describe the relationships between weight, width and length. In particular: Weight (g) = 0.01223427*(length. cm)**2.943696 R = 0.989978 Width (cm) = 0.6172958*(weight, g)**0.3317764 R = 0.989318 Width (cm) = 0.1422887*(length, cm)**0.9808952 R = 0.983662
