Morphometric variation among the three species of Genus acetes (Decapoda: Sergestidae) in the coastal waters of Malacca, Peninsular Malaysia

Small sergestid shrimps of the genus Acetes are locally known as ‘udang garagau’ which can be found along the coastal region of Malacca. A total of three species of the genus Acetes (namely, A. indicus, A. japonicus and A. intermedius) are found along the coastal waters of Malacca. The morphometric...
