| Description |
In the last two decades, the operations of large, medium and small trawlers of the Central and State Government organisations, the Indo-Norwegian Project and the commercial concerns have revealed good prawn grounds on the continental shelf of the coasts of India. Although most of the operations were carried out with trawls suitable for netting miscellaneous varieties of fishes, prawn catches obtained incidentally have given a fairly reliable picture of the distribution of the prawn grounds. In the following account the regional abundance of prawns is given on the basis of trawling operations carried out on the east and west coasts of India. The results are dealt below under four different divisions viz., 1. North-Western Division (Kutch to Goa), 2. South. Western Division (Karwar to Cape Comorin), 3. South-Eastern Division (Cape Comorin to Krishnapatnam) and 4. North-Eastern Division (Masulipatnam to Diamond Harbour). |
