A partir da implantação do projeto "Biologia e Potencial de Camarão no Nordeste do Brasil – Estado de Sergipe", patrocinado pelo CEPENE/IBAMA, foram identificadas 11 espécies de crustáceos decápodos, até o momento sem registro para o Estado de Sergipe: Portunus spinimanus Latreille, 1819, Portunus anceps (Saussure, 1858),
Metoporhaphis calcarata (Say, 1818), Pilumnus sp., Menippe nodifrons Stimpson, 1859, Raninoides loevis (Latreille, 1825), Platylambrus guerini (Brito-Capello, 1871), Calappa ocellata Holthuis, 1958, Hepatus pudibundus (Herbst, 1785), Scyllarides brasiliensis Rathbun, 1906 e Panulirus laevicauda (Latreille, 1817). Considerando-se as espécies ora registradas, tem -se que no Estado de Sergipe ocorrem 103 espécies de crustáceos, pertencentes a 40 famílias.

The project "Biology and Shrimp Potential at Northeastern Brazil", sponsored by CEPENE/IBAMA, whereby 11 decapod crustacean species were identified, so far without recording for Sergipe Sate, Brazil, namely: Portunus spinimanus Latreille, 1819, Portunus anceps (Saussure, 1858), Metoporhaphis calcarata (Say, 1818), Pilumnus sp., Menippe nodifrons Stimpson, 1859, Raninoides loevis (Latreille, 1825), Platylambrus guerini (Brito- Capello, 1871), Calappa ocellata Holthuis, 1958, Hepatus pudibundus (Herbst, 1785), Scyllarides brasiliensis Rathbun, 1906 e Panulirus laevicauda (Latreille, 1817). Aiming at getting a better understanding of the crustacean fauna at Sergipe State all crustaceans already recorded and those presented in the present paper were put together, adding up to a total of 103 species from 48 families.
