Preliminary study on sergestid shrimps (acetes) of Sarawak coastal waters based on morphology and pcr-rapd approaches

Acetes spp. is a type of Sergestid shrimp which is common in Malaysian coastal waters. It is highly gregarious and is a seasonal occurring shrimp. Acetes are locally known as „udang geragau‟ in Peninsular Malaysia. In Sarawak, the locals usually called them as „bubok‟. In Malaysia, this shrimp is...
