Description Crustacean Fisheries Division of ICAR-CMFRI, has
recently taken up a two year programme on
experimental trawling using fishing vessel F.V. Silver
Pompano. Samples were collected from different
bathymetric stations off Kochi and Alappuzha during
fortnightly intervals. Samples in the last fortnight
of August 2016, collected at a depth of 65m off
Alappuzha, included a good number of Charybdis
(Goniohellenus) smithii along with fishes and other
crustaceans. While segregating the samples of
swarming crab C. (G.) smithii, approximately 5 kg
of small sized Charybdis sp. was also collected. This
species was not included in the earlier samplings of
the programme as well as in the commercial fishery
landings. Hence detailed studies were carried out
and found the species is C.(G.) omanensis
septentrionalis, a new record in the Indian seas.
