Abstract

Prawn community in the coastal habitat of Digha is predominantly composed of the family Penaeidae. The present study evaluates the diversity of Penaeidae species in the Digha coast. Penaeidae species were obtained from the Digha Coast between January 2022 and January 2024. A total of 26 species from 8 genera were documented from the Digha Coast and five species represent the first observation from the study area. The Penaeid prawn diversity in Digha Coast, West Bengal of India is substantial. This study will provide valuable insights for prawn fisheries managers and researchers in the study region.

Digha Kıyısı’ndaki (Bengal Körfezi, Hindistan) Penaeid Karides Çeşitliliği Üzerine Bir Rapor

Abstract

Digha kıyı habitatındaki karides topluluğu, ağırlıklı olarak Penaeidae familyasından oluşmaktadır. Bu çalışma, Digha kıyısında Penaeidae türlerinin çeşitliliğini değerlendirmektedir. Penaeidae türleri, Ocak 2022 ile Ocak 2024 arasında Digha Kıyısı'ndan toplanmıştır. Toplamda, Digha Kıyısı'ndan 8 cinsten 26 tür belgelenmiştir ve bunlardan 5 tür, çalışma alanından ilk kez gözlemlenmiştir. Batı Bengal, Hindistan’da Digha Sahili’ndeki Penaeid karides çeşitliliği oldukça zengindir. Bu çalışma, bölgedeki karides balıkçılığı yöneticileri ve araştırmacıları için değerli bilgiler sunacaktır.
