Freshwater shrimp are essential organisms for the proper functioning of aquatic ecosystems. However, little is currently known about their diversity and abundance in Amazonian water bodies. Thus, the present study aimed to conduct a preliminary survey of the diversity and abundance of shrimp species from the family Palaemonidae in two tributaries of the upper Itaya River basin, Loreto, Peru. A total of 40 samples were collected between October and November 2018 in the tributaries Huanganaico and Pumayucu of the upper Itaya River. A total of 60 individuals were recorded belonging to the species Macrobrachium brasiliense, which was the most abundant (85% occurrence, n = 52 individuals), and M. amazonicum (15% occurrence, n = 9 individuals). Monthly abundance indicated fluctuations in individuals during the sampled months, and biological indices showed low levels of alpha diversity. In conclusion, there is low species diversity of shrimp in the upper Itaya River basin, with M. brasiliense being the most abundant species during the capture period. These results contribute to the understanding of freshwater shrimp diversity in the Itaya River basin for management and conservation purposes.
