Deep-sea shrimp of the family Aristeidae is known as “rouge shrimp” and has become a valuable deep-sea fishing resource in I-Lan Bay. The specimens were collected from fish market in 2010. During the survey, 4 genera and 5 species of the family Aristeidae were found. These included Aristaeomorpha foliacea (Risso, 1827), Parahepomadus vaubani Crosnier, 1978, Aristaeopsis edwardsiana (Johnson, 1867), Aristeus virilis (Bate, 1881) and A. mabahissae Ramadan, 1938. The detail description of morphological characteristics for each species, line drawings, identification keys and color photographs are provided. Deep-sea shrimp fisheries has become important in many countries and developed after stock assessment. Further studies are needed for the assessement of the deep-sea shrimp fishieries in Taiwan to maintain it sustainable.
