Abstract
The suborder Dendrobranchiata constitute a diverse group of marine decapods with over 533 species under 68 genera ( De Grave and Fransen, 2011). Globally distributed, and inhabiting both shallow waters and abyssal zones below 5000 m, they occupy different trophic levels of the food chain at various water depths in the ocean (Pérez Farfante and Kensley, 1997). This group includes most of the prawns of high economic value that account for over one-third of the annual wild crustacean catch (FAO, 2009).
