Four different shrimp species; Penaeus monodon, Macrobrachiwn vollenhovenii, Macrobrachium felicinllm, Parapenaeopsis atlantica were collected from Lagos and Ondo states coastal waters and examined. The length (em), weight (g), head weight (g), tail weight (g), number of upper and lower rostrum teeth were determined. The species varied differently in weight ranging from 100.70g, 48.30g, 12.l0g and 9.20g for each species respectively. Length of 27.60cm, 18.l0cm, 15.70 and 10.40cm were recorded, head weight of 33.90g, 24.90g, 4.40g, 7.40g. Tail weight; 67.30g, 24.l0g, 7.70g and 3.20g were recorded. While the number of upper and lower rostrum teeth in P. monodon, M. vollenhovenni, P. atlantica, and M. felicinum were; 7-10/1-3, 11-14/3-5, 5-1110, 12-16/3-5 respectively. Penaeus monodon had the highest weight (l00.70g) but had rostrum teeth of 8/3. The result obtained for the species in homogenous subsets revealed that in weight (g), M. felicinum and P. atlantica falls into the same subset, while M. vollenhovenii and P. monodon fall into different subsets. In the length (em), all four species fall into different subsets. In the head weight (g), P. atlantica and M. felicinum fall into the same subset while M. vollenhovenii and P. monodon fall into different subsets. In tail weight, it was also applicable. In number of teeth on the upper rostrum all four species fall into different subsets and in number of down rostrum P. atlantica and P. monodon fall into different subset while M. vollenhovenii and M. felicinum fall into the same subset.
