Preliminary study on sergestid shrimps (acetes) of Sarawak coastal waters based on morphology and pcr-rapd approaches
Acetes spp. is a type of Sergestid shrimp which is common in Malaysian coastal waters. It is highly gregarious and is a seasonal occurring shrimp. Acetes are locally known as „udang geragau‟ in Peninsular Malaysia. In Sarawak, the locals usually called them as „bubok‟. In Malaysia, this shrimp is...

| description | Acetes spp. is a type of Sergestid shrimp which is common in Malaysian coastal waters. It is highly gregarious
and is a seasonal occurring shrimp. Acetes are locally known as „udang geragau‟ in Peninsular Malaysia. In
Sarawak, the locals usually called them as „bubok‟. In Malaysia, this shrimp is made into various food products.
This species is also known for its prominent role in ocean food web. Lack of studies on Acetes shrimp inhabiting
Sarawak waters had limit the public to maximize the potential role of Acetes shrimp. Therefore, this study aims to
record the morphological details of Acetes that occurs in Sarawak coastal waters and carry out preliminary
molecular studies on Acetes spp. Based on the morphological characters, the Acetes samples from Bako and
Bintulu were identified as Acetes intermedius and Acetes indicus, respectively. The Acetes samples from Kuching
failed to be determined up to species level due to its dried state. PCR-RAPD profile from Bako and Bintulu
samples had been documented. The percentage of polymorphic bands for sample B is 71.43 %. On the other
hand, sample C (Bintulu) showed only two bands unique to the respective species. The percentage of
polymorphic bands of Bintulu sample was 50 %. There were two monomorphic bands observed which were 500
bp and 800 bp, respectively. |
