“…This prawn has shown a sharp increase in landings (from 167 tons in 2004 to 676 tons in 2022 [8]), and thanks to its high commercial value [9,10], it is playing a key role in fishers' revenues [11]. This species was recorded in the Adriatic Sea for the first time only in 1863 [12], and different authors support the hypothesis of the expansion of its available habitat through a gradual meridionalization phenomenon [10] from the southern part of the Mediterranean, where it was particularly abundant [13]. However, these changes in the spatio-temporal dynamics could likely have been generated by the synergic action of multiple factors.…”

Crustacean fisheries are gaining prominence globally amid a decline in finfish stocks. Some decapod crustacean species have experienced increased landings in response to shifting market demands and environmental dynamics. Notably, the caramote prawn (Penaeus kerathurus—Forskål, 1775) in the northern Adriatic Sea, Geographical Sub Area (GSA) 17, has risen in both landings and economic importance in recent years. However, despite its significance, comprehensive information on fishery-dependent data, age, and growth in this region remains lacking. To address this gap, this study employs modal progression analysis and the ELEFAN approach, utilizing the “TropFishR” R package and newly developed functions, including bootstrapping procedures. These advancements aim to overcome issues identified in previous versions and enhance the accuracy and reliability of age and growth estimations. The study leverages one year of monthly length-frequency distributions (LFDs) collected from commercial bottom trawls in the northern Adriatic Sea. The results of the analysis confirm the presence of sexual dimorphism in the caramote prawn species, with females exhibiting faster growth rates compared to males. Additionally, the growth performance index supports this observation, further underscoring the importance of accounting for sexual dimorphism in growth modeling and fisheries management strategies. By contributing to a growing body of knowledge on the growth dynamics of the caramote prawn, this study provides valuable insights for sustainable fisheries management in the northern Adriatic Sea. Understanding the age and growth patterns of key crustacean species is essential for developing effective conservation measures and ensuring the long-term health and productivity of marine ecosystems. The findings of this study serve as a foundation for informed decision-making and proactive management practices aimed at preserving the ecological integrity and economic viability of crustacean fisheries in the region.

Penaeus aztecus Ives 1891, commonly known as the brown shrimp, is a well-established invasive alien species of Atlantic origin in the Mediterranean Sea. Here we report on the presence of the species in the Balearic Sea, eastern Mediterranean coast of Spain, where seven specimens were caught in 2023 (February, May and July). Our records represent the first from Mediterranean Spanish waters, as well as the westernmost for this species in the whole basin. Furthermore, on the basis of the data collected, we suggest the presence of a well-established population in this part of the basin. We provide a review on the Mediterranean distribution of the species with discussion on possible pathways of introduction and implications for the ecosystem and fisheries.
