Abstract
Parapenaeus fissuroides Crosnier, 1985 is an emergent fisheries shrimp resource in the benthic community of Kagoshima Bay. The growth pattern and longevity of P. fissuroides were estimated from monthly length-frequency distributions. Carapace length (CL) ranged from 7.7-27.1 mm in males and 6.4-36.1 mm in females. Both males and females were recruited during late autumn and winter. Growth was best described by Pauly & Gaschütz’s growth equation as for males and for females. Females grew faster and reached larger sizes than males of the same age group. The life-span of P. fissuroides was estimated to be around 2 years for males and 2.5 years for females.
