Collection Summary:Specimens of Palaemon serratus were collected by a professional fisherman (DYFLO) in February 2021, using special traps in the 2-nautical mile zone of the Cap of La Hève (Le Havre, Normandy, France). The collected prawns were returned to the laboratory within a maximum of 1 h, using 30 L-polypropylene tanks filled with artificial sea water (ASW; salinity of 33‰ from dissolution of TETRA SEA® salt, which is commonly used in maintenance of marine aquarium), in oxygenated conditions (Rollin et al., 2021). The prawns were transferred and kept into 80 L-aquariums that were connected to an ASW supply, and under constant aeration and filtration. Then, 10 mature males and gravid females (i.e. ovarian stage 4) of homogenous size (i.e. 8.5 ± 0.9 cm total length) and homogenous moult stage (i.e. D1’-D1’’) were anesthetized on ice and dissected. The gills, the nervous gland (i.e. eyestalks medulla and supra oesophageal ganglia), the muscle, the hepatopancreas and the gonads were weighted, individually frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -20°C.
