| Abstract |
This study contributes a preliminary checklist of commercial marine shrimps collected along Peninsular Malaysia coastal waters. Samples collection were carried out between November 2021 to August 2022 either by using bag-net or purchasing from local landing sites if their capture locations could be confirmed. In total, 375 individuals from 18 species and 7 genera, belonging to the Family Penaeidae were recorded. Among this, the genus Penaeus exhibits the highest diversity with 8 species, followed by Metapenaeus (4 species), Mierspenaeopsis (2 species) and one species each from the genera Alcockpenaeopsis, Ganjampenaeopsis, Parapenaeopsis and Trachysalambria. This study was conducted to provide a taxonomically verified checklist of the commercial shrimps distributed along the Peninsular Malaysian coast, which would serve as a foundation for further research. |
