Tiger prawn (Penaeus monodon) is normally found in deep waters on muddy and sandy bottom. We found this juvenile Tiger prawn sitting on algae in shallow pool near shore it means this habitat is nursery ground for these prawns. Observed other species like glass shrimps and marbled shrimps in same pool earlier.
Thank you.
