Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range Ecology

Benthic; brackish; depth range 3 - 720 m (Ref. 8), usually 3 - 50 m (Ref. 8).  Tropical; 18°C - 24°C (Ref. 434), preferred 26°C (Ref. 107945); 23°N - 24°S, 90°W - 14°E

Distribution Territories | FAO areas | Ecosystems | Occurrences | Introductions

Atlantic Ocean: from Yucatan, Mexico to the Greater Antilles, south to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and Cape Blanc, Mauritania to Namibia.

Length at first maturity / Size / Weight / Age

Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm Max length : 20.0 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 434); 23 cm TL (female)

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Maximum carapace length: 4.1 cm (male); 4.8 cm (female) (Ref. 8). Maximum total length (male) from Ref. 110183. Maximum depth from Ref. 97531. Occurs at depths from 3 to 700 m, common at depths from 10 to 75 m (Ref. 434), inhabits bottom mud or sandy mud, and sandy patches among rocks in marine environment. Juveniles found in estuarine environment (Refs. 8, 106886). Also inhabits lagoons (Ref. 417). In general, the majority of penaeids are omnivorous or detritus feeders (Ref. 105082).

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae

Members of the order Decapoda are mostly gonochoric. Mating behavior: Precopulatory courtship ritual is common (through olfactory and tactile cues); usually indirect sperm transfer.
