0.022 kg/h
Mean catch per unit effort (kg per hour of towing) in the Saudi Red Sea shrimp trawl fishery, commercial trawler operations of May–June 2023 off Al Qunfudhah and Jizan; minimum, maximum and standard error in metadata. The paper does not describe how the species were identified.

Introduced (Lessepsian) in the eastern Mediterranean: established in Cretan waters, Greece, where four individuals were caught by artisanal trammel nets in the Sitia Gulf between 21 September 2017 and 15 February 2018.

839
839 individuals of this species among the 103,758 shrimp (six species) counted in one trawl-catch study sample, counted by number. Sampled monthly from October 2022 to September 2023 off the ports of Jizan and Al Qunfudhah (108 hauls off each), by chartered industrial shrimp trawlers registered in the two ports; the catch was sorted on board and taken on ice to the laboratory. Gear: 40 mm diamond-mesh codend, night trawling, hauls of about three hours at around three knots, at depths of 10 to 40 m off Jizan and 10 to 30 m off Al Qunfudhah. The trawling grounds are predominantly sandy bottoms with scattered muddy patches (a description of the study grounds, given as context and not as a fact about the species). This value is a figure of that one sample: it is not population abundance, Saudi abundance, stock abundance, national prevalence, distribution, production or commercial importance.

No governed conservation assessment is published for this taxon. The absence of a published assessment is not an assessment of low concern.
The encyclopedia holds no published scientific distribution records for this taxon. The distribution statements among the facts above are quoted from the sources cited beside them; they are not distribution records.
This section shows source-backed scientific distribution only. Community observations are not listed here and no scientific distribution is inferred from them.
The shrimp fishing seasons and bans published in the encyclopedia belong to the fishery (wild-caught marine shrimp on a given coast in a given year); they are not a biological property of this species and not its spawning season. Find them with their area, year and source on the shrimp page. The season tables →
Taxa of the same family. That is a taxonomic relationship, not a statement of resemblance; the encyclopedia holds no diagnostic characters or lookalike relations yet.
These fields exist in the encyclopedia’s model and have not been imported for this taxon yet. Their absence describes the record, not the animal.
