Abstract

A chromosomal study was conducted on a marine prawn, Parapenaoepsis stylifera.
The metaphase spreads were prepared from the hepatopancreatic tissue. The
species possessed a modal diploid number (2n) of 74 chromosomes, FN = 110. The
karyotype comprised of 1 metacentric, 18 submetacentric, 1 subtelocentric and 17
acrocentric pairs. The size of the chromosome ranged from 1.89 to 9.84 pm. Sex
chromosomes were cytologically indistinguishable.
