Abstract

Of 17 penaeid shrimps have been known from Korean waters, only five species reported from Jeju Island (Kim and Kim, 1988; Je et at., 2002). In September 2002, two interesting penaeids were collected from seas off Hamduck, Jeju Island. After the close examination, they were identified as Melicertus latisulcatus (Kishinouye, 1896) and Metapenaeopsis mogiensis mogiensis (Rathbun, 1902). (omitted)
