Total length and body weight mean 44.77±0.029 mm and 0.962±0.0021 g. Females produce around (306-1,704) egg/individual and the incubation period lasted 9-11 days at 19-27°C. Larvae reached post larval stage after 22 days of hatching. Keywords : The Black Sea, biometrics, egg production, larval development, Palaemon elegans, prawn
