Title Metapenaeopsis borradaili (de Man) a penaeid prawn
(decapoda, penaeidae) new to the Indian ocean

Subject Prawn and Prawn fisheries
 
Description Metapenaeopsis Borradaili (de Man) has been described from the
type localities ofSiboga Expedition, by de Man (1911) and later from Australia by
obtaining a single male by Dall (1957). The present material from the Laccadive
Archipelago was kindly passed on to me for study by Dr. S. Jones, former Director
of Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute. The specimens were collected
from the coral reef area and the lagoons of the Islands during the collection of
fishes using fish poison. This is the first report of the species from the Indian Ocean,
thus extending its distribution far west to the Arabian Sea.
