Subject Prawn and Prawn fisheries
 
Description The enterprising small and medium
shrimp trawler operators of Kerala ventured
into deep sea fishing for the first time in
November 1999 defying the longheld concept
that deep sea prawn resources could be
harvested only by means of large trawlers.
This endeavour proved successful with the
realisation of 25,647 t of deep sea prawns in
the first fishing season lasting between
November '99 and May 2000.
