Penaeus (Litopenaeus) setiferus (Linnaeus, 1767)
Litopenaeus setiferus is an economically important native species that occurs from the North Atlantic along the Gulf of Mexico coast to Florida.
The shrimp has been the subject of recurrent scientific study; reproduction has been studied in captivity, as have some aspects of its nutritional physiology, diseases, and adaptation to various environments, including breeding facilities.
In the 1990s, as a result of the information obtained, interest in breeding shrimp under controlled conditions began.
As a native species, Litopenaeus setiferus benefits local fisheries and is also used as a bait shrimp in recreational
Aquaculture in ponds and intensive biofloc systems as well as for stocking fish grounds to determine:

Litopenaeus setiferus a euryhaline species that can grow in both marine and low salinity brackish water in a variety of salinities, the shrimp prefers muddy bottoms with organic material, sand and clay.
Juveniles and adults can be found in estuarine environments.
The life cycle of the white shrimp begins on the continental shelf between 4 and 40 meters of water depth, where fertilized eggs are picked up by the current and 12 to 14 hours later nauplii hatch to feed on their reserves.
At 12 to 15 days of age, planktonic larvae move to shore in search of refugia in lagoons or estuaries until they reach the postlarval stage, grazing on submerged vegetation.
They spend 7 - 9 months in these nurseries before migrating back to the sea as adults
