URUGUAY 



Uruguay was not visited dviring this survey, Urxiguay has 

 no shrimp fishery, nor does it appear likely that she will develop 

 one, Uruguay, or a part of it at least, seems to be in the transi- 

 tion zone between the area of the warm-water coastal Penaeus and the 

 forms that inhabit the colder coastal waters. Along the northern 

 coast Penaeus brasiliensis is occasionally taken in some of the 

 lagoons. Normally these lagoons are not connected with the sea, 

 but now and then a breakthrough will occvir. \-Ihen this happens, young 

 P. brasiliensis ma:y enter and develop in the lagoons.
