The white shrimp (Penaeus merguiensis) is found in virtually every aquatic environment in Indonesia and has a high economic value. It can price from IDR70,000–IDR80,000 per kilogram for white shrimp with various names such as jiaro (Pakistan), red leg shrimp (Malaysia), kung chaebauy (Thailand), pak ha (Hongkong), and banana prawn (Australia). That Penaeidae member continues to rely on natural captures.
