Author(s): Suharmili Rosle and Sakri Ibrahim
Abstract: The abundance study of shrimp population, their life stages and habitat preferences were carried out in Tumpat Waterways at Kelantan Delta, Malaysia. Shrimp trawl was used to collect the samples. The specimens were preserved in 10% formalin for species identification. Total length (TL) and carapace length (CL) were measured to determine their life cycle stages. Among five species recorded,
Penaeus indicus and
Penaeus monodon were found highly abundant in brackish water which accounted for 76 and 70 total numbers respectively. The juvenile and adult life stages were found most prominent in this study with
Penaeus monodon found abundantly at
Rhizophora sp. and
Nypa fruticans.
