Recruitment is likely to be small and variable. SCIENTIFIC NAME COMMON NAME COMMENT Penaeus esculentus brown tiger prawn Native to NSW waters Also known as leader prawn and giant Penaeus monodon black tiger prawn tiger prawn - farmed in NSW. Penaeus esculentus Image © Bernard Yau Background There are a number of large striped ‘tiger’ prawns waters in mud, sand or silt substrates less than known from Australian waters. Species such as 30 m deep. Off northern Australia, female brown the black tiger prawn (Penaeus monodon) and tiger prawns mature between 2.5 and 3.5 cm grooved tiger prawn (P. semisulcatus) have wide carapace length (CL) and grow to a maximum of tropical distributions throughout the Indo-West about 5.5 cm CL; males grow to a maximum of Pacific and northern Australia. The brown tiger about 4 cm CL. Spawning occurs mainly in water prawn (P. esculentus) is also mainly tropical but temperatures around 28-30°C, and the resulting appears to be endemic to Australia, inhabiting planktonic larvae are dispersed by coastal shallow coastal waters and estuaries from currents back into the estuaries to settle. central NSW (Sydney), around the north of the continent, to Shark Bay in WA. This species is Compared to northern Australian states, the fished commercially throughout its range and NSW tiger prawn catch is extremely small.

  • Classical Taxonomy and 16S Rrna Gene Marker Confirmed First Record of the Menippid Crab Menippe Rumphii (Fabricius, 1798) from the West Coast of India
    Indian Journal of Geo-Marine Sciences Vol. 44(1), January 2015, pp. 76-82 Classical taxonomy and 16S rRNA gene marker confirmed first record of the Menippid crab Menippe rumphii (Fabricius, 1798) from the West coast of India Vivek Rohidas Vartak1*, Rajendran N2 & Wazir S. Lakra3 1Khar Land Research Station, Panvel-410206, Maharashtra, India 2Vellore Institute of Technology, Vellore- 632 014, Tamil Nadu, India 3Central Institute of Fisheries Education, Andheri (E), Mumbai-400061, India * [E-mail: [email protected]] Received 22 February 2014; revised 7 July 2014 The Menippe rumphii (Fabricius, 1798), marine crab, occurring along the rocky shores of coastal areas of east coast of India was located along the rocky shores of the Konkan coastal region of Maharashtra. Classical taxonomy is applied for identification of this crab. Taxonomic descriptions and morphometric analysis confirmed the species as Menippe rumphii. The 16S rRNA gene from Menippe rumphii adults was sequenced to corroborate species identification. Phylogenetic analysis showed ostensible clade between sequences of Menippe rumphii from NCBI and study crab. Classical taxonomy and 16S rRNA gene marker substantiated the record of the specimens from the Konkan coast. [Key words: First record, Menippe rumphii, 16S rRNA gene, Classical taxonomy] 5 Introduction pictures of Chhapgar on the collections from this region also shored up this observation. After Menippid crab, Menippe rumphii (Fabricius, 4 1798) known as maroon stone crab is a coastal detailed taxonomic examination as per Alcock crab species distributed in the Pacific Ocean this species was identified as Menippe rumphii from Taiwan to Indonesia1. This crab is found in (Fabricius, 1798) and has a valid record from the Brunei Darsm, Cambodia, China, Indonesia, Chennai, east coast of India.
