Description

 In October 2010, a specimen of tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon was captured by a vessel from an industrial fishery fleet using a bottom trawling net in the area of the continental shelf of the State of Para. The female sample was collected at 25 m depth. This capture shows that since the 1980s this species has occurred in the north Brazilian continental shelf
