Latreutes
Latreutes is a genus of marine shrimp in the family Hippolytidae. Species within this genus exhibit distinct reproductive strategies, with documented cases of consecutive breeding and seasonal reproductive peaks. Some species, such as L. fucorum, form mutualistic associations with pelagic Sargassum algae, while others inhabit benthic marine environments. The genus shows variation in habitat preference across species, from Sargassum-associated pelagic habitats to seagrass meadows and coastal waters.
