What is Taxonomic Revision of Genus Penaeus about?

1) The genus Penaeus was formed in 1798 and originally contained 34 species of commercially important shrimp. 2) In the late 1960s-early 1970s, the genus was split into 6 subgenera based on morphological characteristics. 3) Recent molecular phylogenetic analysis by researchers in India confirmed the monophyletic origin of the genus Penaeus, supporting the reversal of the six-genus classification system.
