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

Benthic; depth range 0 - 130 m (Ref. 103830), usually ? - 30 m (Ref. 103558).  Tropical; 73°N - 28°S, 98°W - 33°W

Distribution Countries | FAO areas | Ecosystems | Occurrences | Introductions

Western Atlantic and the Arctic: Bermuda, Nova Scotia, from Chesapeake Bay to Florida Keys, Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean Sea to Brazil up to Santa Catarina.

Length at first maturity / Size / Weight / Age

Maturity: Lm ?, range 1 - ? cm Max length : 9.2 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 8); common length : 8.0 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 8)

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Common total length: 6.0 to 8.0 cm (Ref. 8). This is an oceanic, demersal species found up to 130 meters in depth (Ref. 103831). Occurs in unconsolidated sublittoral sediments (Ref. 105332). Bottom sand or mud and shells (Ref. 8). Also found in seagrass (Ref. 102062). Preyed upon bony fishes (Refs. 34001, 105209, 105210). Known as a filter-feeder and zooplanktivore (Ref. 128410). In general, the majority of penaeids are omnivorous or detritus feeders (Ref. 105082).

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

Mating behavior: Precopulatory courtship ritual is common (through olfactory and tactile cues); usually indirect sperm transfer (Ref. 833). Spawning peaks during summer (Ref. 103558).
