Description Parapenaeopsis stylifera is a penaeid prawn
commercially called as Kiddi prawn and locally known
as ‘Jinga’. A large sized P. stylifera was collected
from New Ferry Wharf on 29.04.2014 during regular
field sampling. The mechanized shrimp trawler which
had landed the specimen was fishing in 40 - 60 m
depths off Gujarat coast. It landed about 50 - 60 kg
P. stylifera along with the catches of other penaeid
prawns such as Metapenaeus affinis, M. monoceros
and Solenocera crassicornis. The particular specimen
was a female measuring 158 mm in total length and
weighing 27.6 grams.
