Abstract

The fecundity of the two Solenocerid shrimps, Solenocera melantho and Haliporoides sibogae (Decapoda, Penaeoidea), which are commercially important for bottom trawlers and boat seiners in southern Kyushu, Japan, was examined. The number of oocytes at prematuration or later stage which would spawn within a few days, was counted for each female, for both species. For S. melantho, the fecundity was estimated to be 95, 400-384, 700 (26.1-43. 1mm in carapace length), while for H. sibogae, it was 89, 200-295, 800 (28.4-37.3mm in carapace length) . There was a significant positive correlation between the fecundity and the body size (carapace length and body weight) for both species. S. melantho had relatively higher fecundity in comparison to the same body size of H. sibogae.
