terms of value in international trade. In terms of value in exports, shrimps account
for about 16% of all exported fishery products (FAO 2018).
Although commercially important shrimp species vary by country, some species
are important worldwide. Penaeus indicus, Penaeus monodon, Penaeus semisulcatus, Penaeus merguiensis, Penaeus canaliculatus, Metapenaeus dobsoni,
Metapenaeus affinis, Metapenaeus monoceros, Metapenaeus brevicornis,
Metapenaeus kutchensis, Parapenaeopsis stylifera, Parapenaeopsis sculptilis,
Parapenaeopsis hardwickii, Solenocera indica as commercially important species
in India have been reported. It is reported that the most important part of the catch
and the economically important shrimps are penaeids belonging to Penaeus,
Metapenaeus, Parapenaeopsis and Solenocera genera (Sathiya and Valarmathi
2018). So far, shrimp species found in the waters of Turkey is 61, the number of
those who have the economic value is limited. 7 of these 61 species are evaluated
commercially. From these species, Penaeus japonicus, P. semisulcatus, Metapenaeus
monoceros, Penaeus kerathurus and Parapenaeus longirostris are common in all
seas except the Black Sea. Shrimp species of economic value belong to the families
of Penaeidae and Caridea (Bascinar 2004). Hernandez-Padilla et al. (2018) reported
that white shrimp (Penaeus vannamei), blue shrimp (P. stylirostris), brown shrimp
(P. californiensis) and crystal shrimp (Penaeus brevirostris) are commercial species
in the southeastern Gulf of California, Mexico. Penaeus indicus, Penaeus monodon,
Penaeus meruguiensus, Penaeus semisulcatus and Metapenaeus dobsoni are
reported that the most important commercial species from Sri Lanka (Piratheepa
et al. 2012), Penaeus semisulcatus, Metapenaeus affinis and Parapenaeopsis stylifera from North West Arabian Gulf (Al-Maliki and Al-Khafaji 2018).
2.1.1.4 Some Important Shrimp Species
There are approximately 3047 species known as shrimp and prawn. These are
divided into four main groups: Sergestoidea (about 94 species), Penaeoidea (about
376 species), Stenopodidea (at least 60 species), Caridea (ena less 2 517 species)
(Chan 1998a).
The studies on penaeoids are very comprehensive and are currently known to
comprise 4 families including 191 species in the Western Central Pacific. Among
these families Penaeidae is the most important family. Penaeidae is generally
medium to large and is often found in large quantities in shallow waters throughout
the continental shelf, commonly catching with trawls, purse seines, and traps (Chan
1998a). Stenopodoid, a second large group of shrimps, form Infraorder Stenopodidea,
which does not have any commercial significance. Some of these are reported to
have commercial value due to seen as sporadic in aquarium trade (Farfante 1988;
Chan 1998a). Carideans, with many members of economic importance, constitute
the third largest group of shrimps, consisting of about ten super families (Farfante
1988). Sergestoid shrimp are small and no interest to fisheries except for the
genus acetes.
