| DEFINITION |
a large, nocturnal, bottom-dwelling (benthic), omnivorous, commercially significant species of palaemonid prawn found in tropical and subtropical regions of the Indo-Pacific area, from Class: Crustacea, Order: Decapoda, Family: Palaemonidae, recognised by its long, prominent second walking legs (chelipeds) which are often blue or orange, and a long upward-curving rostrum with 11–14 dorsal teeth and 8–10 ventral teeth. | |||||||||
| DEFINITION SOURCE | Fishterm | |||||||||
| Notes |
The first stage is called "small male" (SM); this smallest stage has short, nearly translucent claws. If conditions allow, small males grow and metamorphose into "orange claws" (OC), which have large orange claws on their second chelipeds, which may have a length of 0.8 to 1.4 times their body size.[6] OC males later may transform into the third and final stage, the "blue claw" (BC) males. These have blue claws, and their second chelipeds may become twice as long as their bodies.[4][6]
