Between June 2012 and January 2013, nine specimens of the giant tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon Fabricius, 1798 were caught off the Mexican Gulf coast. The average total length of these specimens was 28.1 cm. This is the first record of this invasive shrimp on the Mexican Gulf coast. The appearance of this shrimp species is a concern because of the effects it could produce on the Gulf coast ecosystem.
