Abstract
This study reports the first record of Caridean prawn Macrobrachium striatum (Pillai, 1991) from the estuarine region of the Karwar coast on the West coast of India. Male and female specimens with total lengths of 84 mm and 58 mm respectively, were studied. The observed female specimen proved to be ovigerous and had an egg size of 0.2 mm. M. striatum was mainly collected during the post-monsoon season (October to January). Therefore, a detailed description, morphomeristic characteristics, and color photographic images of male and female prawn of M. striatum are explained in the present paper as a new sighting and observation.
