| Abstract | ||||
| Taxonomic study of shrimp on the Bardawil lagoon, were studied in specimens of shrimp collected from Bardawil lagoon fishers from Seasonal occurrence of shrimp During, 2019. Identification of species was based on the morphological characters of rostrum (dorsal and ventral teeth), remarks of carapace, antenna, sub apical spines on telson and the colored pattern of the whole body based on standard keys and diagnoses available from the current literature. Modified Key identify shrimp species from Bardawil lagoon, was prepared after morphometric analysis. A total of 5 species from belong to three genus; Penaeus, Melicertus and Metapenaeus. Among these, two species belong to the genus Penaeus (Penaeus semisulcatus (De Haan, 1844) and Penaeus (Marsupenaeus) japonicas (Bate, 1888). The species which taken from genus Metapenaeus namely Metapenaeus stebbingi (Nobili, 1904) and Metapenaeus monoceros. (Fabricus, 1798), One species belong to the genus Melicertus kerathurus. (Forskål, 1775). Additional research is needed to more clearly define the distribution of shrimp species in Bardawil lagoon. | ||||
