Penaeid Shrimp
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 ...

Penaeus Monodon
''Penaeus monodon'', commonly known as the giant tiger prawn, Asian tiger shrimp, black tiger shrimp, and other names, is a marine crustacean that is widely reared for food. Taxonomy ''Penaeus monodon'' was first described by Johan Christian Fabricius in 1798. That name was overlooked for a long time, until 1949 when Lipke Holthuis clarified to which species it referred. Holthuis also showed that ''P. monodon'' had to be the type species of the genus ''Penaeus''. Description Females can reach about long, but are typically long and weigh ; males are slightly smaller at long and weighing . The carapace and abdomen are transversely banded with alternative red and white. The antennae are grayish brown. Brown pereiopods and pleopods are present with fringing setae in red. Distribution Its natural distribution is the Indo-Pacific, ranging from the eastern coast of Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, as far as Southeast Asia, the Pacific Ocean, and northern Australia. It is a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Funchalia
''Funchalia'' is a genus of deep-water prawns of the family Penaeidae. Six species are currently recognised: *''Funchalia danae'' Burkenroad, 1940 *''Funchalia meridionalis'' (Lenz & Strunck, 1914) *'' Funchalia sagamiensis'' Fujino, 1975 *''Funchalia taaningi'' Burkenroad, 1940 *''Funchalia villosa'' (Bouvier, 1905) *'' Funchalia woodwardi'' Johnson, 1868 Few specimens of ''Funchalia'' are present in museum collections, mostly due to the lack of sampling at the great depths where it lives. It probably has a cosmopolitan distribution. The genus was erected in 1868, when James Yate Johnson erected it for the species '' Funchalia woodwardi'', which he had collected off Madeira; the specific epithet In taxonomy, binomial nomenclature ("two-term naming system"), also called nomenclature ("two-name naming system") or binary nomenclature, is a formal system of naming species of living things by giving each a name composed of two parts, bot ... commemorated Henry Woodward of ...

Farfantepenaeus
''Farfantepenaeus'' is a genus of prawns in the family Penaeidae. Its eight species were formerly included in the genus '' Penaeus''. It was first published as a genus name in 1972 by Rudolf N. Burukovsky, but without the necessary designation of a type species. That situation was corrected by the same author in 1997. The name ''Farfantepenaeus'' commemorates the Cuban carcinologist Isabel Pérez Farfante. Species *'' Farfantepenaeus aztecus'' – northern brown shrimp *''Farfantepenaeus brasiliensis'' – red-spotted shrimp, spotted pink shrimp *''Farfantepenaeus brevirostris'' – crystal shrimp, pink shrimp *''Farfantepenaeus californiensis'' – yellowleg shrimp, brown shrimp *'' Farfantepenaeus duorarum'' – northern pink shrimp *'' Farfantepenaeus notialis'' – southern pink shrimp *''Farfantepenaeus paulensis'' – São Paulo shrimp, Carpas shrimp *''Farfantepenaeus subtilis ''Farfantepenaeus'' is a genus of prawns in the family Penaeidae.
