Penaeus merguiensis (de Man, 1888) - Banana prawn
Rostrum extends horizontally and has an elevted crest with 6-10 large teeth dorsally and up to 6 ventral teeth. Median and adostral grooves are shallow and diminish at the middle of the carapace. Gastro-orbital ridge is absent or weakly defined and there is no hepatic ridge so the carapace appears smooth.
Color: overall creamy white (Bailey-Brock & Moss, 1992).
