Description Additional information regarding the offshore migration of 'karikkadi'
(Parapenaeopsis stylifera) during the southwest monsoon period along Kerala
coast and its relevance to the management of the local shrimp fishery is
reported based on the results of special shrimp surveys conducted during July-
August, 1990. In a total of 42 bottom trawling operations conducted between
30 and 90 m depth,'karikkadi' was recorded upto 80 m depth thereby extending
the known 'bathymetric' limit of its migration further deep in the study area.
The maximum catch was recorded off Cochin at 47 m depth which was far
beyond the limit of territorial waters. Biological characteristics such as size
frequency distribution, sex ratios, mean size variations and abundance of
spawning population are indicated and discussed.
