Description Adults of Penaeus japonicus (Bate) and juveniles of P. canaliculatus (Olivier) were recorded for the first time from the coastal estuarine regions of Goa, (India) respectively. Their presence in Goa waters suggests that both the species have a wide distribution along the west coast of India. The available data from the neighbouring states that both the species are distributed in deeper waters and are caught during or immediately after the southwest monsoon. Hence, it may be possible to tap these valuable resources from Goa waters if the fishing operation is extended to depths beyond those presently fishing is carried out during the SW monsoon season.
