As part of the Oriental Biogeographical Region, Indonesia has recorded the presence of freshwater shrimp in various areas, taking into consideration that these animals are beneficial both ecologically and economically. Even so, the fact is that data on the existence of freshwater shrimp in Indonesia still need to be included in some areas, as well as in Belitung Island. Information recording of a species is necessary so that its existence is easier to protect. This study describes the freshwater shrimp species found in Belitung Island.
Here, we present new distribution records of eight species of freshwater shrimp (Crustacea, Decapoda, Palaemonidae) from Belitung Island, Indonesia. In addition to the morphological description, each species is also provided with the nucleotide sequence of the CO1 gene. All species belong to the genus Macrobrachium.
