Metapenaeus Bennettae
''Metapenaeus bennettae'' is a species of small prawn found in eastern Australia, where it is called the greentail, or greasyback, prawn. The prawns are covered in fine hairs, giving them a slippery feel when handled. They are collected commercially and recreationally for food, and form part of the catches known as bay prawns and school prawns. Names The term "bay prawn" may be listed as a common name for ''M. bennettae''. ''Bay prawns'' most generally refers to mixed catch of small prawns from Moreton Bay and other Queensland fisheries. More particularly, ''bay prawn'' may be taken to mean ''M. bennettae'' and ''M. insolitus''. (See #Commercial use.) "School prawns" are small prawns netted in rivers and estuaries. These are primarily '' M. macleayi'' in eastern Australia and '' M. dalli'' west of Cape York. Consequently those two species may be referred to as Eastern School Prawn and Western School Prawn. However, the term ''school prawn'' is also be applied informally t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Prawn
Prawn is a common name for small aquatic crustaceans with an exoskeleton and ten legs (which is a member of the order decapoda), some of which can be eaten. The term "prawn"Mortenson, Philip B (2010''This is not a weasel: a close look at nature's most confusing terms''Pages 106–109, John Wiley & Sons. . is used particularly in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Commonwealth nations, for large swimming crustaceans or shrimp, especially those with commercial significance in the fishing industry. Shrimp that are present in this category often belong to the suborder Dendrobranchiata. In North America, the term is used less frequently, typically for freshwater shrimp. The terms shrimp and prawn themselves lack scientific standing. Over the years, the way they are used has changed, and in contemporary usage the terms are almost interchangeable. Shrimp'' vs. ''prawn Regional distinctions The terms shrimp and prawn originated in Britain. In the use of common names for species, shrim ...

Moreton Bay
Moreton Bay is a bay located on the eastern coast of Australia from central Brisbane, Queensland. It is one of Queensland's most important coastal resources. The waters of Moreton Bay are a popular destination for recreational anglers and are used by commercial operators who provide seafood to market. The Port of Brisbane coordinates large traffic along the shipping channel which crosses the northern section of the bay. The bay serves as a safe approach to the airport and reduces noise pollution over the city to the west of the runway. A number of barge, ferry and water-taxi services also travel over the bay. Moreton Bay was the site of conflict between the Quandamooka people and early European settlers. It contains environmentally significant habitats and large areas of sandbanks. The bay is the only place in Australia where dugong gather into herds. Many parts of the mainland foreshore and southern islands are settled. The waters of Moreton Bay are relatively calm, being s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Penaeidae
Penaeidae is a family of marine crustaceans in the suborder Dendrobranchiata, which are often referred to as penaeid shrimp or penaeid prawns. The Penaeidae contain many species of economic importance, such as the tiger prawn, whiteleg shrimp, Atlantic white shrimp, and Indian prawn. Many prawns are the subject of commercial fishery, and farming, both in marine settings, and in freshwater farms. Lateral line–like sense organs on the antennae have been reported in some species of Penaeidae. At , the myelinated giant interneurons of pelagic penaeid shrimp have the world record for impulse conduction speed in any animal. Genera Of the 48 recognised genera in the family Penaeidae, 23 are known only from the fossil record (marked †): * † '' Albertoppelia'' Schweigert & Garassino, 2004 * † ''Ambilobeia'' Garassino & Pasini, 2002 * † ''Antrimpos'' Münster, 1839 * '' Artemesia'' Bate, 1888 * '' Atypopenaeus'' Alcock, 1905 * † '' Bombur'' Münster, 1839 * † ''Bylgia'' ...

Crustaceans Of The Pacific Ocean
Crustaceans (Crustacea, ) form a large, diverse arthropod taxon which includes such animals as decapods, seed shrimp, branchiopods, fish lice, krill, remipedes, isopods, barnacles, copepods, amphipods and mantis shrimp. The crustacean group can be treated as a subphylum under the clade Mandibulata. It is now well accepted that the hexapods emerged deep in the Crustacean group, with the completed group referred to as Pancrustacea. Some crustaceans (Remipedia, Cephalocarida, Branchiopoda) are more closely related to insects and the other hexapods than they are to certain other crustaceans. The 67,000 described species range in size from '' Stygotantulus stocki'' at , to the Japanese spider crab with a leg span of up to and a mass of . Like other arthropods, crustaceans have an exoskeleton, which they moult to grow. They are distinguished from other groups of arthropods, such as insects, myriapods and chelicerates, by the possession of biramous (two-parted) limbs, and by their ...
