Description ndia ranks second ,only to United states in prawn
production (Mohamed. 1973) and earns valuable foreign
exchange from export of this crustacean to the tune of
Rs.329.70 crores. which formed 85% of the total shipment.
of marine products in the year 1984-85 (Anon.,
1985). Increasingly expanding demands for prawns at
enviable profits in overseas markets, coupled with
concurrent technological advances, have enormously
increased the exploitation of natural stocks in recent
years and raised the possibility or even probability of
over-fishing which may eventually leads to the total
disaster of the fishery itselt. It emphasises enforce-
ment of rational fishing to ensure a long-term sustainable
yield. In order to monitor the impact of
increasingly intensified commercial fishing, the stock
positions of prawns have, therefore, been periodically
reviewed (Chopra. 1943; Panikkar and Menon, 1956;
Bh1machar. 1963; Banerjl, 1969; Jones. 1969; Mohamed,
1973; Silas etal.,1981). Since each species, that
constitutes the fishery has its characteristic beha-
viour. movements and habitat a long-tem fishing may
have varying degree of impact on each one of them.
This necessitates in-depth studies on individual species
with regards to the resources available and exploited.
