Genetically Evolved Kuruma Shrimps
Abstract
The Kuruma shrimp (Penaeus japonicus) is a highly valued commodity in the worldwide aquaculture sector. It is native to the Indian and western Pacific Ocean. Recent genetic research has shed new light on the classification of this species. Specifically, a study by Vinay et al. (2019) used mitochondrial DNA analysis to identify cryptic species of Penaeus japonicus inhabiting Indian waters.
