Title Prawns of Goa with a note on the biology of
Parapenaeopsis acclivirostris (Alcock)
 
Creator Thomas, P A
 
Subject Prawn and Prawn fisheries
 
Description Discarded fractions of the commercial landings along the coasts of Goa
were found to contain both young ones and adults of several species of prawns |
shrimps which seldom figure either in the catch statistics or among the component
species taken to constitute the catch. Observations spread over a period of 8 years
(1971-79) record the presence of about 28 species of prawns|shrimps in this
territory, and these are listed.
Specimens of Parapenaeopsis acctivirostris (Alcock) were obtained regularly,
though in very small numbers, from 25- to 45-meter depths during the period
December 1972 to May 1973, based on which some preliminary observations on
the biology of this species aire also presented.
