Shrimp are highly susceptible to diseases caused by microorganisms, and this greatly affects productivity. Recently, studies investigating shrimp diseases have increased, and this may be due to the high density and the intensive greenhouse model. This study aims to isolate and diagnose fungi found in prawn shrimp (Penaeus monodon) in Jizan Sea. We examined and isolated fungi from prawn shrimp (Penaeus monodon) into different locations in the body (head, abdomen, and tail). We found one type of fungi (Fusarium solani) in most body sites, especially in the abdomen and head area observed under the microscope. This type of fungi is highly invading the whole body of prawn shrimp, which may cause deterioration in the lives of shrimp in the near future and transmit many diseases to its users.
