Genetic and Morphometric Variation of Marine Prawns, Penaeus Monodon Fabricius and Fenneropenaeus Merguiensis De Man in Malaysian Waters

Marine prawns are divided into two common genera of Penaeus and Fenneropenaeus. Fenneropenaeus merguiensis is locally known as banana prawn while Penaeus monodon is tiger prawn. These prawns are widely distributed and are extensively cultured in the tropical and subtropical waters. Information on th...
